Made Kuti, the son of Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti and grandson of the genre’s originator Fela Kuti, officially tied the knot with his beloved partner, Inedoye Onyenso, in a private ceremony on November 1, 2023.

The matrimonial event was graced by distinguished guests, including the proud parents of both the bride and groom. Femi and Funke Kuti were among those present to witness this joyous occasion.
Yeni Kuti, one of Femi Kuti’s siblings, captured the enchanting moment on video and shared it on Instagram, as Made and Inedoye professed their love and commitment to each other.
Adding a touch of cultural significance to the proceedings, the bride’s parents were resplendent in traditional Igbo attire, while Made’s parents donned matching Yoruba outfits. This fusion of cultures beautifully symbolised the union of two families.
Femi Kuti himself couldn’t contain his happiness and shared a video on his Instagram, alongside Funke and Made, expressing their love and support for the newlyweds.
