Femi Anikulapo Kuti, the first son of afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, has said that he should be cremated when he dies.
The Nigerian afrobeat singer said that cremation is the most hygienic way to preserve the dead.
The 59-year-old musician said this on Sunday during a performance at the New Africa Shrine, Ikeja, Lagos State.
Femi, who expressed shock that the cemeteries in Lagos including the Ikoyi Cemetery are yet to be full to capacity, said his body should be burnt when he dies.
“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,” he said.
