Nigerian singer Seun Kuti was one of the nominees for this year's Grammy Awards and he narrated what it was like being at the prestigious award event.

He revealed that the event actually begins at 2pm and from 2 to 7pm, gospel artists perform, after which the red carpet begins and everyone goes to change into their red carpet outfits

"Grammys are boring y'all. I'm sorry to tell you. First of all, it starts at 2, that's what I didn't know. Because on TV. it starts at 8," he said.

He continued: "That 2 hours on TV, that's the ghen ghen part. Grammy starts at 2. And from 2 to 7 is a big Jesus Christ party. Nigerians will feel welcome in this place, I'm telling you ... It is about 40 different gospel categories. You don't even understand how big the Grammys is tied. That's why I understood when Soweto Gospel Choir won. "
Seun Kuti was nominated for the 'World Music Award' category but the Soweto Gospel Choir won the award.

On how it felt losing to Soweto Gospel Choir, he said:

I'm my own validation. I've never looked for validation outside of myself. It's an award, it's great. To be nominated is awesome. But if I wasn't nominated either I won't have felt as if something was missing from my life.

The great fela is a man I will respect till death , he instilled so much self esteem in his children ....
Fela would never be bothered if he lost the Grammy , he might not even honour a nomination he doesn't care , he didn't need the white verification , to prove he was a great musician like many artists are doing today . he show complete apathy for religion , as his kids are showing today , when I see Femi and seun , I see fela written on thier faces , wherever Baba is now he is resting with a big smile on his face !
Seun forget about the Grammy's , too much lobbying and politics in that award , I lost interest in that award when Cardi b won and J Cole is yet to have a Grammy !

BOOOMNAIJA:
IF NO BE FELA, WHO SABI THIS ONE?

Seun kuti is signed unto a foreign label disorient records , he's featured on jidenna's "85 to Africa" album , as well as "Calle 13 's " album.....
He currently controls the Egypt 80 band , Fela's band ... listen to his 2014 album , a long way to the beginning , and his last one that earned him a Grammy nomination " Black times " ....and the song ft Carlos Santana .
Being Fela's son might have helped him a great deal, but this man is highly talented !

The Grammy award committee just hands out to whoever they want.

I find it hard to believe that the likes of Tupac, biggie, Nicki Minaj have never won the award even J Cole has been notoriously snubbed when it comes to the award.

grammy na scam. overrated poo
