Asake And Seun Kuti Have Submitted Their Entries For The 2027 Grammy Awards

Nigerian music artists Asake and Seun Kuti are seeking recognition at the 69th Grammy Awards, with submissions in various categories ahead of the Recording Academy’s announcement of nominees.

Asake has submitted his album M$NEY and three songs, “Gratitude,” “Jogodo,” and “Worship,” for consideration in multiple categories, including Best African Music Performance. His album M$NEY has been entered for Album of the Year and Best Global Music Album, while “Gratitude” is under consideration for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best African Music Performance. His collaboration with Wizkid, “Jogodo,” is also submitted for Best African Music Performance, and “Worship,” featuring French DJ and producer DJ Snake, is being considered for Best Dance Pop Recording.

Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has submitted two songs, “Na Dem” and “Problems,” for consideration in the Best African Music Performance category. These submissions represent another effort by both artists to achieve a nomination for the Grammy Awards. However, submission does not guarantee a nomination, as the final list will depend on the Recording Academy’s voting process.
