According to Yeni Kuti, Femi's elder sister, he is not sad about losing the Grammy for the second time.

Femi was said to have been performing at the Afrika Shrine in Lagos when the winner of his category was announced in a pre-telecast event streamed on Grammy's website meaning he did not bother to attend.

"He's not sad he didnt win, its a good thing he was nominated in the first place", Yeni said.
