Synopsis

Mrs Kuti is the unapologetic life story of Remilekun Anikulapo-Kuti taking you from her early days in an English orphanage straight into the electric energy of Lagos. 

No regrets. No bitterness. Just the real story of love, heartbreak, culture shock, and raising a family against the backdrop of a transforming Nigeria from the 1960s through the 1990s. Remilekun’s words give you a front-row seat to her life as Fela’s wide-eyed love interest, fiercely loyal wife, and eventually, estranged partner—while still holding onto a love she calls “the forever kind.”
