He 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, Seun Kuti writes: “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.
Seun also used the opportunity to publicly congratulate Soweto Gospel Choir for winning the Best World Music award at the event.

“Big up to Soweto Gospel choir a group that has also inspired me,” he writes, adding: “@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.”
