In January 2017, Femi Kuti paid a visit to the home for the Internally Displaced Persons - IDP camp- in Maiduguri.

The star shared a video of himself teaching the children a little musical do-re-mi lesson on the trumpet.

In 2014, Femi Kuti cleared the air about a news story which claimed that the musician discovered two of his kids weren't his. The statement was released by Chocolate City which manages Femi Kuti in Nigeria.

"Reports labelling this story as recent are false, this old interview was simply rehearsed by some blogs and newspapers in a bid to steer up controversy and have something to sell, some blogs even went as far as publishing pictures of his legitimate children in a bid to pass them off as the affected children" read the statement.

The press release went on to further state that Femi Kuti is a responsible father who is private about his family life.
