Nigerian media personality, Yeni Kuti, has expressed that she would not consider infidelity as a sufficient reason to end her marriage. In a recent conversation with Chude Jideonwo, she reaffirmed the controversial statement she had made earlier this year.
Yeni pointed to her late father, the iconic Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, who had 27 wives, yet her mother remained committed to their marriage despite his affairs. Drawing from this example, Yeni emphasized that she wouldn’t leave her husband for another woman involved with him. She acknowledged that everyone has their own choices to make in such circumstances and urged against judgment.
Yeni firmly believes that she wouldn’t abandon her marriage due to her husband’s infidelity, reasoning that she couldn’t be the one to come and go based on the actions of a single individual.
