He pointed out that Burna Boy was incorrectly credited as the first Nigerian artist to perform at Coachella in 2020, when he had performed there in 2012.
Seun also lamented that the media failed to recognize his Grammy nomination for his work on Janelle Monae’s ‘Age of Pleasure’ in the Album of the Year category at the 2024 Grammys.
He stated, “My brother Femi Kuti has received numerous nominations. They have nominated me; in the last round, I was also nominated.
“The only name among the Nigerian musicians nominated for the 66th Grammy Awards they omitted was mine. They always act like I’m from Togo in this way,” he complained.
