The news about doubts over his paternity had gone viral last week in Nigeria.
In an interview with Channels Television’s entertainment correspondent, Femi Kuti explained that the incident was not a recent one but something that had happened eight years ago.
He, however, did not give the name of the woman involved, as he kept referring to her as his girlfriend.
“It happened eight years ago. One of my girlfriends was talking on the phone with one of her lovers and I entered the room took the phone and discovered she was talking to a lover.
“And there was already a rumour in the Shrine that one of my children did not look like me and my sister advised me to address the issue. For security reasons and for the sake of the family, I took all my children for a DNA test and I found out that two were not my children,” he said.
Femi Kuti’s management team, Chocolate City, had earlier released an official statement, addressing the rumours about him carrying out a recent DNA test on his children.
In the statement, the group admitted that it was true but said that it was an excerpt from an interview that Femi Kuti granted some eight years ago.
