Grammys
While the likes of Wizkid, Femi Kuti and Burna Boy are used to getting nominated for the prestigious award, Made Kuti and Tems are first-timers, part of the reasons why it is a big boost to their careers.
Made Kuti and Femi Kuti’s joint album, ‘Legacy +,’ was one of the albums nominated for the Best Global Music Album for the Grammy Awards.
