Speaking during the Sonically podcast hosted by Elmo Chong, Femi revealed his father even talked down on his album to the press, tagging it ‘rubbish’.

“But it wasn’t a fight. I was lost. I had no formal education, how was I going to become a great musician? I was lost. I was crying inside me. But people didn’t understand, they thought I was doing what I was doing because I was protesting. 

“I just focused and said, I can’t turn back right now. I would rather die trying. So, I just continued and I have never stopped since then. 

“The first time my father heard my first album at the launching in 1989, he said it was rubbish. He went on stage and said it to the press. I was so upset. He was the last person I expected such a harsh review from.” 

The multiple Grammy-nominated artist added that he didn’t get any acceptance from his father until he performed two of his hit tracks ‘No Place For My Dreams’ and ‘Mind Your Business’ at the African Shrine.

Fela then went back to the press to boast about his son, Femi’s success.
