Femi Kuti’s new management, Chocolate City Music has reacted
to Encomium Magazine’s Friday publication on their news site that Femi Kuti was
recently involved in a paternity scandal where it was revealed that two of his
children are actually not his, after a DNA test was carried out. Chocolate City
Music is stating it point blank here that, it actually happened 8years ago
against what the magazine published. They also asked news site to put down the
pictures of his children they used to demonstrate the illustration, stating it
could cause more harm than good for the innocent children. We never used their
pictures in the first place. Find the official statement after the cut.

Reports labelling this story as recent are false, this old
interview was simply rehearsed by some blogs and newspapers in a bid to steer
up controversy and have something to sell, some blogs even went as far as
publishing pictures of his legitimate children in a bid to pass them off as the
affected children. Femi Kuti is a loving and responsible father who takes the
privacy of his children very seriously and so we request that blogs, newspapers
and magazines kindly take off the pictures from their platforms as this is an
evasion of their privacy as well as a security risk for the children. Thank you
for your cooperation.
