Why I didn’t go down on my knees when I proposed to my wife – Made Kuti

Afrobeat singer and son of the legendary Fela Kuti, Made Kuti, has shared his opinion on marriage proposals and the process involved.

 The 30-year-old revealed that he didn’t go down on his knees when he proposed to his wife, Inedoye Onyenso, because he believes it should be a mutual decision, not one person begging on their knees.

The Grammy-nominated artist stated this in an episode of the Timeless Podcast aired recently on the Nix Network YouTube channel.

“I did not go down on my knees when proposing to my wife because I told her it was a mutual decision. We are not begging each other to be with each other,” he said.

Made Kuti and Inedoye Onyenso got married in a private ceremony in Lagos in November 2023.

The singer revealed that Inedoye was his former “school daughter”.

In 2025, Made tackled those who accused him and his wife, Inedoye, an Igbo, of “mixing blood” due to their different ethnic backgrounds.

The music star said ethnic bigotry is “slave mentality”.
