He said:
“Anybody in this world that says to you that to be a Pan Africanist, to struggle means to suffer is a liar. Fela Anikulapo Kuti too na liar? Fela no be Pan Africanist? You lick ice cream to reach Fela? Fela dey send his PA Tuesday morning flight to London, that one go arrive for London, e go leave 10 am, e go arrive London 3 pm, he has to go to Bonds street to buy Fela’s favourite sweets. The only sweet wey Fela dey lick, they sell it in Bonds street, it’s called Bonds of London, that is the name of the sweet, I can never forget. Femi Foto, Femi Bankole Osunla, that’s his full name, in the evening e go come back with the return flight, he’s back in Lagos the next morning with Fela’s sweet and ice cream.”
Speaking further, Seun Kuti asked critics of Fela’s identity as a Pan Africanist should be questioned because he enjoyed his life. He said:
"So that means Fela is stupid? He’s not a Pan Africanist because he liked to lick ice cream? The only thing he should lick because he’s a Pan Africanist is donkuwa and make him drink agbo, he must not enjoy the sweet cream of this life. Is that your idea of Pan Africanism?”
