For his bravery through his strident, satirical numbers that made him both hero to Africa’s poor and renegade to the governments, Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has been honoured with a posthumous award as ‘Fearless Man of Africa’.
According to the organisers, the posthumous award is hinged on the story conceptualised by the Fearless energy drink brand, from its recent findings on courageous people in all spheres, including music where the late Afrobeat king was pinpointed as Africa’s Most Fearless man, in ideas, performance, courage and leadership.
Adegunwa said, “Fela resonates with what Fearless stands for: positive energy, courage, leadership, and can-do spirit that comes with Fela’s creativity and leadership quality; his pursuit for a better Nigeria and Africa in general.”
