It’s Funke Kuti’s birthday today and her mother, Laila St. Matthew-Daniel took to her Facebook wall to celebrate her beautiful daughter.
Her message reads: ”Join me dear family/friends to wish my Numero Uno – the head of the four musketeers – a wonderful and blessed birth day today 7th September, 2016.
She is such a wonderful woman, kind, caring, loving and an extraordinary daughter. A surrogate mother to her younger sisters – firm but loving.
A pillar to all around her and always there to be of assistance. A doting mother to her son, and my grandson, Made.
A solid rock to her friends. A fair and just employer.
May God continue to be her guiding light in all she does and open windows/doors of opportunities in her Event/PR business.
As she is there to uplift others, may God uplift and favor her in all she does.
Happy birth day – Funky C”

No one will take away the fact that he is the father of her son and they talk on mutual issues.
Funke Kuti has been single or years and she has her job to keep her company. Funke noted that the challenges and the gains and the pains of overcoming those challenges and of course the joy of triumph keeps her happy, occupied and content.
