Made Kuti, the first son of Femi Kuti and Funke Kuti, has reacted after bagging his first Grammy Award nomination alongside his father, in one of the 86 categories for the 2022 edition awards ceremony.
The grandson of Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, alongside his father, Femi were nominated for the Best Global Music Album at the 64th Grammys for their joint album, titled ‘Legacy +,’.
The Kuti’s were nominated in the same category alongside Angelique Kidjo for her album, ‘Mother Nature,’ Rocky Dawumi for the album, ‘Voice of Bunbon Volume 1,’ and Wizkid for his album, ‘Made In Lagos.’

While reacting to the feat, Made Kuti said, “My mind is blown!! A Grammy nomination from my debut album! All those years I spent practising all those instruments by myself to record an album, I would play every instrument in by myself! Notating the music, recording it, editing it! Thank you everyone that was involved.”
Made makes his mark as the third Kuti to earn a Grammy nomination. Neither his father, Femi nor his uncle, Seun Kuti, have ever won the prestigious music award.
