Nigerian Afrobeat singer and grandson of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Made Kuti, has revealed that he did not kneel when proposing to his wife, Inedoye Onyenso, because he viewed the decision to marry as mutual rather than one-sided.
Made Kuti made this shocking revelation on a recent episode of the Timeless Podcast on the Nix Network YouTube channel.
According to him, he told his wife they were not begging each other to be together; rather, it was something both of them wanted to do.

New Telegraph recalls that Kuti and Onyenso married in a private ceremony in Lagos in November 2023.
He also revealed that she had previously been his school daughter.
In 2025, the Grammy-nominated musician responded to criticism over their union after some people accused the couple of mixing blood due to their different ethnic backgrounds. Kuti described ethnic bigotry as a slave mentality.
