2024 Grammy Award: Davido, Burna Boy Seats Revealed

The suspense ahead of the upcoming 2024 Grammy Award has continued to build up with the seating arrangements for the ceremony revealed.
In a trending video capturing how the award nominees will be seated, it could be seen that Davido and Burna Boy have their tables close to A-list artistes just as they prepare for a historic night in their respective illustrious careers.
Davido is expected to seat in the table that has Ziggy Marley and within close distance of Megan Thee Stallion.
Burna Boy, on the other hand, has his seat reserved in the table that has 21 Savage and Brandy.
In another highlight, Taylor Swift and Lana Del Ray will be sharing a table on Sunday night.
Both artistes are likely to spend less time seated and more time accepting awards. Taylor Swift has been nominated in six categories including an Album of the Year nod for Midnights while Lana Del Ray has five opportunities to take home her first ever GRAMMY award with her ninth studio album, ‘Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’, also nominated.

I’ve Been Blacklisted In Music Industry For 13 Years – Seun Kuti

Grammy-nominated Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti has claimed that he has been blacklisted in the Nigerian music industry for about 13 years due to his style of music.
He explained that because his late father Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and his contemporaries used their music as a form of protest against bad governance, the government invested heavily in vain artists while targeting conscious musicians.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Saleh Meditate podcast, Kuti said government’s interference has significantly affected the quality and impact of modern Nigerian music.
He, however, said being blacklisted in Nigeria doesn’t affect him much, stressing that the country is just a fraction of his fanbase.

He said, “The impact of Fela and his contemporaries who spoke truth to power sacred the government. They made the government realised the power of artistry. So, the government invested more in artists who don’t make conscious music than artists who sing about realities.
“When I am in Nigeria, I don’t fear to say whatever I want to say. That is a lot of people are saying that I should be cancelled. I have been cancelled for about 13 years now after I performed conscious music at former Lagos State Governor Ambode’s event. Even before then, my music was heavily restricted.
“I have been cancelled for long. People think I am not cancelled because I am doing well. Nigeria has cancelled me long time but Nigeria is just like a really small percentage of my market. So, being cancelled doesn’t really affect me.”
He added that artists who are scared of being blacklisted are only scared because Nigeria makes up the bulk of their fanbase.
