Afrobeat singer Femi Kuti has said that his body should be cremated when he dies.
Femi, the first son of late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti stated this during his performance at the New Africa Shrine.
The 59-year-old added that he did not want to be buried with a loud ceremony but prefers his body burnt into ashes with a close-knit burial ceremony.
He said, “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It is the most hygienic way. Have you all thought about Ikoyi cemetery, this Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die, if they don’t die today, they will die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full and if you check it, it is not like it’s 1 million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there.”
