Nigerian singer, songwriter, TV presenter and producer, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa better known as Charly Boy, has praised ace Afrobeat singer, Femi Kuti for raising his son, Made, very well.
The 72-year-old made the comment when he accompanied the Labour Party flag bearer, Peter Obi to the Kutis, where the former Anambra State governor had gone to seek the support of the son of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Showering encomiums on Femi Kuti’s son, Made Kuti, the maverick showbiz icon said he would have loved to marry off one of his daughters to him if they were still single.
Charly Boy also hailed his father, Femi Kuti for ensuring his son was properly trained and well behaved.
He said, “My first time meeting and interacting with this young man, Femi’s son, Made. If my daughters never marry, I would have sent one of them to capture him.
“Made is a well put together child by his father. I’m so impressed,”
