Fela Fridays: Biopic Edition

It was only a matter of time and now it’s confirmed: Chiwetel Ejiofor has been chosen to play Fela Kuti in a biopic based on the book Fela: The Life and Times of an African Musical Icon (not the musical). The great news is that Ejiofor is Nigerian, so we can expect a better Nigerian accent from him.

Yeah, I said it.

Happy Friday!
