Singer-activist Seun Kuti considers becoming a father his greatest accomplishment, but he also discusses his strained relationship with his first daughter.
Despite having children from two mothers, Seun talked about the joy of raising his daughter in a recent interview with media personality Timi Agbaje.
He talked about the tension he had with his first daughter, with whom he has no relationship because of her mother’s lack of communication.
“The greatest thing I have ever achieved is becoming a father, having my daughter, being with her, and raising her.
“I have two kids but I’m not really close to my other daughter but to have the joy of that is the greatest achievement of my life for sure,” he stated.
Timi inquired further, “How do you have two daughters but you are close to one and not the other?,” in response to the statement that seemed unclear. Were you a single father before you married?”

“No, it’s complicated circumstances; no family is perfect, you know, but I’m not close to the mother of my other daughter.
“I wasn’t married when I had my other daughter; interestingly, I had only had premarital sex twice before my first daughter was born,” he said.
