The Recording Academy has revealed that Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the legendary Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer, will receive a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award. This posthumous honour will be presented at the Special Merit Awards Ceremony on 31 January 2026 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, the day before the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
