He was speaking with Factory 78 about plans by The Recording Academy to create an Afrobeats category for the Grammys. Shmurda said that it would be appropriate for them to honour Fela by dedicating an award before they begin to give other artistes. The 'Newborn Fela' hit maker also said that Afrobeats should have been added to the categories that exist in the music award show When the interviewer mentioned that Burna Boy has already won a Grammy award, Bella Shmurda noted that it was a general one and not under Afrobeats. He also said that he's been submitting his songs to be considered for Grammy awards, but he is not eager as he knows that he has a lot of work to do to prove himself.
