“My mother struggled a hell of a lot. She was a white woman who had two brown children in the early ’60s and came to England with one suitcase and nowhere to live. Nothing really.” Sade’s father, a lecturer, remained in Nigeria where Sade lived until the age of 11.
“I am fairly classless because it is very difficult to class someone who comes from a mixed marriage. There isn’t a class structure in Nigeria, there’s a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned. My mother comes from a family where her mother was very working-class and her father was middle-class stroke artsy-fartsy. My grandfather grew up in a commune and my Aunty Phil still lives in one in Farmington, Connecticut.” The rest of the Adu clan is scattered; she has two half sisters in Switzerland and another she has never seen.
