Following online reports that flooded the internet last week about Afro Beat king, Femi Kuti disowning two of his kids after a DNA test confirmed they are not his,the musician's new management company ,Chocolate City Entertainment,has released a statement on the issue.
In the statement, Chocolate City writes:'News published about Afro Beat Legend Femi Kuti that surfaced on the internet on Friday about two of his five children not belonging to him after taking a paternity test was not a recent occurrence but actually happened over 8 years ago.
'Encomium Magazine recently published an interview with Femi Kuti 8 years ago where he spoke about his music, career and personal life. During this interview he spoke on the identity of 5 of his children and then revealed that two of these 5 children were not his and that he had since making this discovery returned the children to their mother.
'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 kindlytake 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.'
In a series of tweets over the weekend, Femi Kuti also denied the reports, claiming the matter is not recent but rather happened 8 years ago.
