She further spoke about receiving a marriage proposal from the legendary Fela Kuti.

“Fela is a trickster. He knew I’d say no,” she said of Fela’s marriage proposal.

“I think it was his way of thanking me for coming out in support of him when he was jailed,” the singer added.

Asked about her marriage, Onyeka, who authored the book ‘My Father’s Daughter’ said: “I don’t like talking about it but because you raised it and because I’d written about it, I have to expatiate.”
