Grandson of Fela Anikulapo Kuti and afrobeats singer, Made Kuti has said he values simplicity over material wealth because of his upbringing by his father, legendary musician, Femi Kuti.
Speaking during an interview on the Breakdown podcast by Pulse, Kuti questioned the logic behind acquiring multiple cars, describing them as depreciating assets that hold little long-term value.
He noted that he prefers to live on his own terms, placing more importance on personal fulfilment than on the accumulation of material possessions.
“I just find it weird to own so many cars,” he said, stressing that materialism isn’t a priority for him.
“I’m the kind of person who just does what he wants. So a lot of my interests are… Maybe my dad was very clever with how he raised us. But the school of thought is, I don’t care much about materialistic things. For example, how many cars do you need to drive? I genuinely don’t understand why you need 7, 8 cars. They are depreciating assets. In the next couple of years, they will depreciate.
“So, it’s weird to me, but it’s interesting to another person”, he said.
