Seun Kuti Explains Why He Didn’t Perform At The Grammys

Nigerian Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, has explained why he didn’t perform at yesterday’s Grammy awards, also apologizing to his fans.

The afrobeat musician who was billed to perform at the award ceremony ended up not taking to the stage.

Seun Kuti, also lost in his first attempt to win a Grammy award after being nominated in the best world music album category but lost to South Africa’s ‘Soweto Gospel Choir’,

Explaining why he was unable to perform on the biggest music awards stage, he wrote,

‘first and foremost I have to say I am sorry to all the fans that tuned in to see us perform yesterday but didn’t. I had the weirdest ticket mix up in history meaning I missed my flight and the rehearsals and we couldn’t go on. Big up to Soweto Gospel choir a group that has also inspired me. @fatoumata_diawara__ for holding down our show without me. @lekanbalogun1 @mccoyclothings for making us look really nice on that red carpet @versatilebay for @chefyeide clothes. @egypt80band and our entire team we must keep banging the door till they let us in’.
