Yeni Kuti, the
daughter of late Music legend
Fela, has unveiled that she used to be addicted to smoking.
She decided to put a stop to her addictions when she started
having chest pain, which seemed to her to be life threatening.
Kuti disclosed this in an interview with The Sun, stating
that the thought of not being alive to see her daughter Rolari, graduate from
the university Inspired her to stop.
“Before my daughter went into the university, I used to
smoke and suffer chest pains. I was like ‘if I continue smoking I may die
before my daughter graduates’.
“That was the inspiration I needed to stop smoking because
for years, I had been telling myself that I would stop smoking on the first day
of January, but by January 4 I was still smoking.
“But this time, I didn’t wait for January 3 or 4. I simply
told myself that if I continued smoking, I would die and never see my daughter
graduate. And that was just too important for me, so I just stopped. I have
stopped smoking for three years. The fear of not being able to educate my child
gave me that inspiration. I was like, who will educate this girl if I die?”
She got all moochy talking about her daughter, who is now
married.
According to yeni, she can no longer interact with her as
she used to, since she now lives with her husband.
“I miss my daughter but we talk regularly. I can’t call her
in her husband’s house the way I used to call her before"
“I am a very happy mother because my daughter is married and
settled, and they both love each other”, she said.
