    Seun Kuti is who is the last son of Fela Kuti, took to social media to censure Nigerian artists who claim to be Grammy winners as a consequence of a feature with an artist who received a Grammy plaque.

    He bluntly referred to these artists as a joke to the industry, because the only recognized Nigerian Grammy winner is Burna Boy.

    According to Seun, In the history of Nigerian Music, there are only four artists who have been nominated for a Grammy award; himself, Femi Kuti, Sunny Ade and Burna Boy,

    He said those who attach themselves to their winning features are not part of the victory.

    In his words;

    “Only four artists in Nigeria have ever been nominated for Grammys! I am one of them, they are only four! Forget all these people you’re attaching or featuring, when you are featured, you are not nominated, it’s not your song. Only four artists, My brother (Femi Kuti), me, Burna Boy, Sunny Ade”

    Throwing a subtle shade at Wizkid and the fans, he revealed that unless one was nominated for a Grammy in a solo category and not as a feature on someone’s else Song/album, they shouldn’t be referred to as Grammy winners.

    According to Seun Kuti, Wizkid was featured on a Beyonce song and the award belongs to Beyoncé, not Wizkid. He advised Wizkid and other featured artists not to attach themselves to the wins of other Grammy winners and focus on winning one for themselves.

    This clip was gotten from the live video Seun Kuti did via his Instagram page some days back. The Video which is on his IGTV was tagged ‘Chairman of African HATERS’.

    In the video, he talked about how Nigerians hate him so much and never give him the accolades he truly deserves. He also mentioned being the first artiste to shut down Coachella before Burna Boy and his sold-out shows in the UK.
