Legendary Afrobeat singer, songwriter, performer and instrumentalist, Femi Anikulapo Kuti has reacted to a post after his recent loss at the 64th Grammy Awards.
The 59-year-old musician, who is also the son of Nigerian afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, bagged two nominations at the recently held 2022 Grammy awards. His song “Pà Pá Pà” was nominated in the Best Global Music Performance category, in which he lost to Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab.
