Femi Kuti loses out again at the Grammys

Femi Kuti has lost out at the Grammy Awards for the fourth time. He was nominated in the ‘World Music' category for his album 'No Place For My Dream' but lost out to French group Gipsy Kings and South African choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo in a tie.

The winner for the category and some others were announced at a pre-telecast yesterday evening Jan. 26th.

The Afrobeat king also lost out at the Grammys in 2003, 2010 and 2011. Which means nothing really because being nominated is a great achievement! Femi didn't attend the awards.

    I already knew he will lose, customer care, he is always nominated, but never wins, that was why he told his sister to represent him at the grammy

    If i was femi kuti i would stop attending the grammys or send reps there.They used it to spite him.His late father,fela,was a critics of white supremacy over africans.That is also a factor he was often denied winner.Even some talented rappers and rnb stars are often deny winners or nomination because of their lyrics of police brutality against blacks in u.s.

    Always thought its only our Nigerian Awards that has fowl play. This is the first time I'm watching Grammys live on TV.. There were too many things one couldn't explain. Like my pal said, if the measures used in giving The award is borrowed by Fifa, Fellani would win the Ballon D'OR #Mr Lucky

    Then if "its nothing really" ,you shouldn't have bothered to write about it or caption your headline as loses again.

    I'm sure the US people did this solely because of our anti gay law.

    Well, Gipsy kings are insanely goooooood. But nevertheless, I would have preferred my own Femi Kuti, probably out of emotions though.

    Being nominated, I must confess, is a big plus.
