At 60, Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, a dancer, businesswoman, media personality and the first child of Fela, the Afrobeat Legend, is arguably one of the sassiest women of her generation. She is a co-host on the breakfast show YOUR VIEW on TVC. Raised by a maverick father who was once married to 30 wives, Yeni has fast become a reference point in coordinating a blended family comprising five surviving children and some loyal ‘Kalakuta queens.’ Upon her father’s death on August 2, 1997, YK, as she is fondly called, took on the mantle of uniting the family and immortalising her father’s music legacy by instituting the annual week-long music festival Felabration.
