Fela Kuti’s Manager disappointed with the process.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s longtime manager and friend Rikki Stein, his longtime British manager, has spoken out about how disappointed he is with the latest list.
Honorees were selected based on ballots sent by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to more than 1,200 artists, historians and members of the music industry. Members of the public also voted which counted as a single ballot.
Fela was part of 16 artists that were nominated for the 2021 class but he didn’t make the list of the final list of inductees.
Stein took to his social media to speak about how unfair the process has been.
“This will NOT change Fela’s legacy, BUT massively disappointed all the same by his non-appearance among the inductees, having always been aware that it was the 1,000 RRHOF’s members that would finally decide. We always hoped, obviously without foundation, that they would take the public vote into consideration. Three months of daily voting with 555,000 votes for nothing! Jay Z, for instance, was rock bottom from day one and remained there until the end. I’m inundated with messages of protest and fury from Nigeria, following their assiduous daily voting.”
