Why I Won’t Attend The Grammy Awards— Femi Kuti

Femi Kuti: Yeni will represent him
Afrobeat King, Femi Kuti has said that he will not be attending the 56th annual Grammy Awards slated to hold on Sunday 26 January at the Staple Centre, Los Angeles, United States of America.

In a Twitter message posted on Wednesday via his Twitterhandle @Femiakuti, the legendary saxophonist said his sister, Yeni, will represent him as she will be in the United States, at the time, to attend to some family related business.
“My sister will be in the US to open a documentary on my father at about the same time. 2 save cost it’s best she represents me @ d Grammys,” Femi tweeted.

According to the music star, he has explained to the organisers why he will not be physically present at the awards and thus wonder the source of the reports that he is snubbing the awards because he’s not sure of winning.
