Asake and Seun Kuti Submit Entries for 2027 Grammys

Asake and Seun Kuti have submitted a total of six entries for the 2027 Grammy Awards. Asake submitted four works across eight category placements, including his album "M$NEY," which is nominated for Album of the Year and Best Global Music Album.

His song "Gratitude" is in contention for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best African Music Performance. Additionally, his collaboration with Wizkid, "Jogodo," is listed for Best African Music Performance, while "Worship," featuring French DJ Snake, is entered for Best Dance Pop Recording.

Seun Kuti, the son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, also submitted entries, including for Best African Music Performance. Although these submissions provide both artists with an opportunity for Grammy recognition, they do not guarantee nominations.

Asake received his first Grammy nomination in 2024 for "Amapiano," a collaboration with Olamide, and another in 2025 for "MMS," featuring Wizkid. Seun Kuti received his first nomination in 2019 with his band Egypt 80 for their album "Black Times." The Recording Academy will announce the nominees on November 16, 2026, with the ceremony scheduled for February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.
