    On February 10, 2021, it was announced that Fela Kuti would compete alongside 15 other music legends including Tina Turner, Jay Z, Foo Fighters, Carole King and the rest.

    Thanks to a massive turnout by Africans, by the end of the voting session Fela came second place after Tina Turner with The Go-Gos, Iron Maiden and Foo Fighter placing 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively.

    However, Fela alongside The Iron Maiden was the only set of people in the top five not to be inducted.

    Instead, Jay Z, Todd Rundgren and Carole King were chosen in their place. These however have sparked outrage among Nigerians who slammed the organizers for snubbing the music legend.

    Joining the Fray, Femi Kuti, the late singer’s son, faulted the lack of adequate enlightenment on the part of the organisers on how inductees are selected.

    “Apparently there’s another vote only members can take part in, and that’s what counts. So they kind of wasted our precious time, the positive side #Fela was trending and many who never heard of him got to hear his music and his story,” he wrote on Twitter.
