This is his second nomination. He was first nominated in 2003 for his album Fight to Win.
“I was shocked and surprised when I heard” Femi said “It was something I least expected or even thought about it. I was even worried about my generator that broke down at The Shrine. They had just given us high quotation. There was no light. So, I was just complaining about the whole situation and then a text came in. I was very happy and excited. So the Grammy people are listening to my works, so they have nominated me? That’s good. I am very happy"He deserves it! Congrats!
