Davido, Bose Ogulu Spotted With Fela Kuti’s Family at Grammy Fela Honours Night

 

Afrobeats superstar Davido and respected music executive Bose Ogulu were among notable Nigerian figures spotted with members of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s family at the Grammy Fela Honours Night, an exclusive event organised to celebrate the enduring legacy of the Afrobeat pioneer.

The gathering brought together generations of Nigerian music royalty, as Davido was seen exchanging warm moments with Fela’s children, including Femi Kuti and Yeni Kuti, alongside other members of the iconic Kuti family. The atmosphere was filled with respect, reflection, and pride as the global music community paid tribute to a man whose sound and message reshaped African music forever.

Also present was Bose Ogulu, Burna Boy’s mother and manager, whose presence carried deep historical significance. Her late father, Benson Idonije, played a major role in Fela’s early career, making the moment a powerful bridge between Afrobeat’s roots and its modern global success.

Davido’s appearance at the event further highlighted his growing influence beyond hit records — positioning him as part of a new generation of African artists openly acknowledging the foundations laid by legends before them. The moment symbolised unity within the Nigerian music space, cutting across eras, styles, and affiliations.

As Afrobeats continues to dominate the global stage, scenes like this from the Grammy Fela Honours Night serve as a reminder: today’s stars stand on the shoulders of giants, and Fela Kuti’s legacy remains alive, respected, and celebrated worldwide.
