Speaking in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast hosted by actor Taymesan, Made Kuti explained that Fela made a lot of money during his lifetime but died broke because he was excessively generous.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was broke. Fela died poor\u2026 He had the kind of money that could have bought a whole street, but when he comes back from a show in Kalakuta, he will open a box of money and say anyone who needs it should take it. Anybody from the street could walk into Fela\u2019s house. It was an open house policy, anybody could walk in and walk out at any time,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Made<\/p>\n

\u201cHis children were not allowed to call him \u2018dad\u2019 or \u2018father\u2019 because he didn\u2019t want any preferential treatment for them. Everybody was equal in Kalakuta.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Made Kuti also claimed that \u201cduring Fela\u2019s lifetime, he was appreciated more internationally than he was locally.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Recalls that Fela died on August 2, 1997, at the age of 58.<\/p>\n
