Afrobeat maestro, Femi Kuti, has advised up and coming musicians to stop joining the profession because of the fame it brings.

Speaking during an interview, the saxophonist said “We must insist to teach our children music properly or else there will be pandemonium in the industry. Everybody is going music for the wrong reason. It’s not about the fame. Music is very gidly and it’s so important that if it’s not done properly, I feat that we are going to have a very sad future in the industry. So that’s why I keep insisting that young boys and girls should learn a musical instrument.”

Furthermore, Femi Kuti also spoke about drug abuse in Nigeria. According to him, “the drugs and alcohol abuse is everywhere, It’s just not Nigeria. The great Europe and America It’s a big problem there too. But what they do since they know it’s a problem is an institution, they have rehabilitation centers. When you crash, you go into rehab. The only institution we have is Yaba left and it’s not ghjen ghen enough.

Sensible people will understand there is a problem. How did America/Europe tackle these problems? Even my father’s time, they were on hard drugs. Heroin, Cocaine and everything. I don’t know if Nigeria has gotten there but the Alcohol is a massive problem. We have to start tackling it now or else we are going to be in big problem,” Femi Kuti said.
