Yeni Kuti has said she’s saddened by the divorce between her brother, Femi Kuti and his now ex-wife, Funke.
Speaking exclusively with NET newspapers, Yeni said, ‘I am sad that they have divorced but happy they have remained close friends’.
Meanwhile, efforts to get comments from the recently divorced couple proved abortive, as Funke told our correspondent, ‘No comment’ while Femi is still on tour.
The divorce, which was announced at a Lagos high court on Tuesday, June 29, 2012, officially ended the marriage between the two. It is unknown whether Funke will drop the Kuti name and revert to her maiden name, Brimo-Yusuf.
Funke, who currently runs an event management team, was actively involved in the 50th birthday celebration organised in honour of Femi. At one point during the event, the separated couple got on stage with their son Made, who thrilled the audience with classical numbers from Mozart in honour of his father.

Painful, but life goes on all the same.
You can see that she made efforts to keep a level ground
even at the birthday, but, it’s a pity.
Things go in ways we can’t explain at times….
No blame on anyone but regrets are surely bound!
