Legendary Nigerian Afrobeats Singer, Femi Kuti says the Grammy is political, as you must be there lobbying for it, for you to win.
Kuti, in a chat with journalists over the weekend said his career was never built on winning awards, but on talking about social and Political issues.
He said if it was based on winning the Grammy or any other award, he would probably not be based in Nigeria.
“If my career were built on winning the Grammy’s, I would probably not be based in Nigeria. I woud set up somewhere in America and be lobbying for it. It’s really political, you must be there, they must see you and you must be fighting for it,” he said.
“Most important for me and my career, is, if I can wake up and have electricity forever, if we have good salaries for everybody, pensions are paid, the roads are good…,” he added
