Dencia pays tribute to Fela, blasts Africans for ignoring anniversary of his death

#RIP to one of the most original and influential African artists of all time.#felakuti. It’s pathetic that most Africans do not even acknowledge this day (he died 8/2/1997)but jump the bandwagon when it comes to Cecil the lion , 2pac , biggie and others (Ma toju opinion mi fun ra mi )I honored him in the #africanenergy video after learning what he stood for. He was a candid supporter of human rights and pan Africanism.The true originator of AfroBeats.He will forever remain one of Africa’s most celebrated entertainers whose voice and music stood for something and just like Late Fela,I believe in a united African republic & pan Africanism.👍🏻✊🏿👊🏼 #LetsCelebrateOurOwn

Controversial singer and businesswoman, Dencia has criticised Africans for jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to celebrating American stars and others but ignoring legends from their own setting.

The ‘African Energy’ singer hit out at Nigerians and Africans while paying tribute to late Afrobeat founder, Fela Anikulapo Kuti whose 18^th death anniversary was marked over the weekend. The Cameroon-born US-based singer took to Instagram to bare her mind.
