Fela's youngest son Seun Kuti has said he was one of the four Nigerians who were nominated for a Grammy award. Seun stated this during a live video on IG after a follower he does not sing good songs.
According to him, his brother Femi, juju singer Sunny Ade and Burna Boy are the Nigerians who have been nominated for the renowned award.
Seun stated that featuring on a Grammy award-winning song does not make the person a nominee. The young musician noted that Grammy organisers called him to enter their show.
