NIGERIAN Grammy-nominated artist, Seun Kuti has lamented that the Nigerian media don't give him credit for his accomplishments and records he broke in the music industry.
The outspoken music star noted that he was the first to have accomplished some things in the industry but the Nigeria media won't acknowledge him but give the accolades to another artist.
Seun also noted that before Burna Boy earned his first Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album with African Giant, his elder brother, Femi Kuti had received multiple nominations in the category.
“My brother [Femi Kuti] has been nominated at the Grammys multiple times. They’ve nominated me, I was also nominated in the last edition. It was only my name that they [Nigerian media] didn’t mention among the Nigerian artists who were nominated for the 66th Grammys. That’s what they do every time as if I’m from Togo.
“That’s how they said Burna Boy was the first Nigerian artiste to play in Coachella in 2020 where me, I’ve played in 2012 as if I’m from Togo,” he said.
Seun Kuti earned a Grammy nomination for his contributions to Janelle Monae’s ‘Age of Pleasure,’ which was nominated in the Album of the Year category at the 2024 Grammys.
