Grammy needs to create Afrobeats category, says Bankulli

Entertainment executive Bankulli has urged the Recording Academy to create a category for the Afrobeat genre.

The Grammy nominee made this known recently on his Instagram post after singer Wizkid’s loss.

Wizkid was nominated in the ‘Best Global Music Performance’ category, recognising new vocal or instrumental Global music recordings.

He also received a second nomination in the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category for albums containing at least 51% playing time of new vocal or instrumental Global Music recordings.
