I’m Fela’s son, no problem with Peruzzi – Aterre reveals
Nigerian artist and CEO of Wisest Family, Benedict Adoyi, popularly known as Aterre, has revealed that he is a son of Nigerian multi-instrumentalist, musician and pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.The Oyoyo crooner and producer revealed that even though he is not a biological child of the activist, he is a reincarnation and son of the late artist, musically.
“My music addresses issues, even though it’s a blend of powerful messages and trending societal issues. This is, however, deliberate, as my focus is to make powerful statements on societal issues. I believe that as a musician, your music should be mostly didactic and inspirational too. In this case, I’m Fela’s son.
‘’I was to shoot my ‘Oyoyo’ video in April after the song went viral online. I was to also shoot another video with my boy, MDY in May [This month]. I did a few ‘collabo’ with him, and we have tested the waters with ‘Kadara’ and our fans loved it. With the wait for a video, we resolved to shoot Kadara’s video this month, but as you can see, COVID-19 is still pushing this forward.
Also speaking on his relationship with Peruzzi, Aterre said, ‘’Ignore all those talks that I have problem with Peruzzi. That’s not true. I and Peruzzi had worked together in the past, and because of too many activities on his part, we are not able to do new stuff together. We are still good friends. Maybe, we will reunite with another good song. We did a lot together in the past and it was beautiful. Peruzzi has got talent, and we both respect each other.
