Nigeria’s Afro-beat legend, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti has said
that not being nominated for the Grammys award does not mean a musician is not
great.
Kuti said this while making reference to his father, Fela
and Bob Marley who never got nominated or won Grammys award in his time.
The Afro-beat legend said Music is not about awards but
spreading love and giving people will to go through hard times.
On his Twitter page, he wrote: “Music really isn’t about
awards though. Fela never won or was never nominated. I don’t think Bob Marley
was too.
“Music is about spreading love, giving people the will to go
through the hard times in live, etc and inspiration. Music must bring comfort
too.”
He, however, clarified that he is not referring to anyone in
particular who got nominated for the Grammys, but himself who has been nominated
four times for the award.
“This tweet on Grammys was concerning me saying I have four
nominations. And all I’m saying is that it’s not the objective.
“Many GREAT musicians have never been nominated doesn’t mean
they are not GREAT. I wasn’t referring to anyone but myself, some have chosen
to abuse, or drag others. Pity.” He said.
