Seun Kuti claimed Wizkid does not deserve to be called a Grammy nominee.

He explained that he, Femi Kuti, King Sunny Ade and Burna Boy, were the only Nigerian musicians to be nominated by the Grammy.

“There are only four artists in Nigeria (to have ever been) nominated for the Grammy, and I am one of them,” Kuti added, directly under the video post.
Recall that a song Wizkid featured in won a Grammy Award in March this year.
The 30-year-old won the Best music video for ‘Brown Skin Girl’ with Beyoncé, while Burner Boy won the award for the Best Global Music Album, ‘Twice as Tall’.
