- Museveni: US Strike on Venezuela Is a Wake‑Up Call for Africa
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni says the U.S. raid that captured Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro shows Africa must strengthen security and deepen East African unity. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni believes Africa should treat the U.S. military raid that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro as a warning. Speaking at a media engagement with social‑media influencers in Kampala on Jan. 5, 2026, Museveni said the United States’ attack on Venezuela revealed that African countries lack the naval, aerospace and space capabilities needed to defend themselves. He argued that only a united East African federation could give the region the resources to build capacity on land, at sea, in the air and in space. The comments came days after U.S. forces stormed Venezuela, seized Maduro and flew him to New York to face drug‑trafficking charges . Why Museveni wants an East African federation As reported by Monitor , Museveni linked the security shortfall to Africa’s political fragmentation. He recalled that Tanzanian leader Julius Nyerere supported forming an East African federation in 1963, but Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya and Uganda’s Milton Obote opted to remain “big fish in small ponds”. This mindset, Museveni said, leaves individual countries unable to build navies or access the sea, making them vulnerable when crises strike. He urged East Africans to revive the federation idea so that the region could pool resources, protect sea lanes and invest in advanced technologies. The Ugandan leader is currently chair of the Non‑Aligned Movement, a bloc of mostly Global South nations, which amplifies his call for unity. Americans operate in four dimensions, Africa doesn’t Museveni contrasted the U.S. attack on Venezuela with Africa’s limited capabilities. According to reports from ChimpReports , he told youths that the Americans “operate from four dimensions” sea, air, space and land while Latin American countries lack navies and have little space capability. In his view, this technological advantage allowed U.S. forces to strike Venezuelan targets and apprehend Maduro before Latin American defences could respond. Museveni warned that if African nations remain fragmented, they will be similarly exposed; a country may feel powerful in its own territory but “when trouble comes, you may not survive”. He said Africa must invest in naval fleets, air‑defence systems and space technology to avoid repeating Latin America’s vulnerability . Building capacity across land, sea, air and space Museveni elaborated on the “gaps” exposed by the Venezuelan raid. He said powerful countries can see adversaries from space, launch attacks from the ocean and air, and are now moving on land. Africa’s response, he argued, should be a multi‑dimensional defence strategy that includes developing a navy and investing in satellites and aerospace technology.

Africa’s response, he argued, should be a multi‑dimensional defence strategy that includes developing a navy and investing in satellites and aerospace technology. He urged East African leaders to build a common defence structure and highlighted the practical importance of a shared language such as Kiswahili to foster regional cohesion. Museveni also pointed out that small countries elsewhere, such as Denmark , can rely on larger allies like the U.S. for protection; Africa lacks such a “centre of gravity” and must therefore unite. Context: the raid and global reaction U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Jan. 3 that American forces had captured Maduro and would administer Venezuela until a “safe, proper and judicious transition” could occur . Reuters reported that Maduro was flown to New York to face drug‑trafficking charges and that Trump planned to allow U.S. oil firms to rebuild Venezuela’s energy sector.

The operation prompted alarm across Latin America and condemnation from countries such as South Africa, which called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting. In this climate, Museveni’s warning resonated with African commentators who see parallels between Latin America’s predicament and Africa’s own vulnerabilities. Africa’s choice: unity or vulnerability Museveni’s remarks underscore a growing debate about continental defence and sovereignty . By linking the U.S. raid on Venezuela to Africa’s strategic posture, he framed the incident as a cautionary tale rather than a distant geopolitical event. He argued that Africa cannot remain a collection of small states reliant on ad hoc alliances; instead, it must invest jointly in land, sea, air and space security . While some regional leaders have voiced support for stronger cooperation, achieving the level of integration Museveni envisions would require overcoming long‑standing political and economic rivalries. Still, his call to action sparked by Maduro’s dramatic capture is a reminder that in an era of multi‑domain warfare, unity may be Africa’s best defence .

- Ituri: $3.16m to reintegrate ex-militiamen as UN mission shifts phase
A $3.16m Stabilization Coherence Fund project in Ituri links ex-combatant reintegration, IDP returns and social cohesion as MONUSCO transitions. A new $3.16 million allocation for Ituri is being framed not only as a local reintegration programme, but as part of a wider effort to keep stabilization work moving as the UN peacekeeping footprint evolves in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo . The Stabilization Coherence Fund says the funding will support the return of displaced people and the reintegration of former militiamen in Djugu, Irumu and Mahagi, three territories that have repeatedly been affected by armed-group violence. The programme was launched in Bunia on Monday, February 23, with provincial/state officials and UN representatives in attendance, according to Radio Okapi. Beyond immediate assistance, it is explicitly linked to two broader tracks: supporting the national Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Programme (PDDRC-S) and accompanying the transition of MONUSCO language that places the project inside a longer political and security timeline, rather than a one-off humanitarian intervention . Implementation will be handled by a UN-led consortium, with UNDP in the lead alongside IOM, UN Women, UNICEF and OHCHR, the report said. The stated focus includes rebuilding the conditions for security, promoting coexistence, and reinforcing social cohesion between host communities and returning families, while helping former fighters re-enter civilian life in their places of origin. Axel Kotoga, identified as the head of UNDP’s office in Bunia, said the approach is meant to work “alongside provincial authorities” and “with all stakeholders” to strengthen efforts already underway through PDDRC-S signalling that the project is designed to plug into state-led mechanisms and local governance rather than operate in parallel. The Stabilization Coherence Fund itself is presented by the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office as a key mechanism supporting project implementation under the International Security and Stabilization Support Strategy, indicating the kind of pooled financing that UN agencies and partners use to align security, recovery and governance work in priority zones . In Ituri, where armed-group activity persists, the stakes of reintegration extend beyond individual livelihoods: the credibility of DDR pathways can shape local security dynamics, return patterns, and community trust especially when returns and reintegration happen in the same contested spaces. Separate UN peacekeeping reporting has also highlighted DDR-related efforts in Ituri tied to returns to civilian life, underscoring how these programmes intersect with protection and stabilization priorities.

- Papa Cyangwe Sends Message of Support to Yampano Amid Crisis
Papa Cyangwe publicly encouraged Yampano as the artist faces legal claims, personal tragedy, and growing public pressure. Rwandan artist Papa Cyangwe has publicly expressed support for fellow musician Yampano, who is currently facing a series of personal and legal challenges. Yampano recently disclosed that he is going through a difficult period following a legal complaint filed by his former wife. He has also spoken about the emotional impact of their separation, which he says was compounded by the death of his child. In an interview with MI Empire, Yampano explained that tensions escalated after private videos involving him circulated online. According to the artist, the situation led to a rapid breakdown of his marriage. Afterward, Yampano traveled to Belgium to meet with partners assisting him in preparing an upcoming tour. While abroad, he received news of his child’s death, prompting his return to Rwanda. Upon returning, Yampano said he felt unsafe due to what he described as increasing hostility and threats. He reported the matter to the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB), citing concerns for his personal security. Reports later emerged that his former wife had filed a formal complaint accusing Yampano of physical abuse and intimidation. The allegations were reportedly submitted while she was still receiving medical attention for injuries. In response to these developments, Papa Cyangwe, a close friend and long-time collaborator of Yampano, shared a message of encouragement aimed at offering emotional support during the ongoing ordeal. In his message, Papa Cyangwe urged Yampano to remain resilient, expressing confidence that the challenges he faces are temporary. He also reaffirmed his personal support and that of Yampano’s fans and family. Papa Cyangwe and Yampano previously collaborated on the song “Ngo,” a track credited with significantly boosting Yampano’s music career. The two artists have maintained a close relationship since. Yampano has stated that, aside from his mother, he currently has limited personal support as he navigates this period.

A: Funding can cover tuition fees, accommodation, food, books, transport, and other study-related expenses. TVET grants are direct and not repayable, while university loans are repayable but may be converted partly into bursaries. ✅ Q4: Do NSFAS loans have to be repaid?

A: Challenges include low loan repayment rates, outdated repayment thresholds, funding limits not matching rising tuition costs, and administrative inconsistencies across institutions. ✅ Q9: Has NSFAS funding increased over time?

- Miley Cyrus Reflects on Losing Malibu Home in 2018 Wildfire
Miley Cyrus says losing her Malibu home in the 2018 wildfire reshaped her life and inspired music tied to her personal healing journey. Miley Cyrus has spoken about the personal impact of losing her Malibu home in the 2018 Woolsey Fire, describing the experience as a life-changing moment that continues to influence her music and outlook. The Grammy-winning artist said the destruction of the California property, which she shared with former partner Liam Hemsworth, occurred just weeks before their wedding. The fire wiped out a space filled with personal and creative memories, making the loss especially difficult to process. In a recent interview, Cyrus explained that music became a central part of her recovery. She said songwriting helped her work through the emotional aftermath of the wildfire and find a way forward after rebuilding her life from scratch. Cyrus noted that her song “Dream As One,” written for the film Avatar: Fire and Ash , was deeply inspired by her own experiences. The film follows a community forced to survive after losing its home, a storyline she said closely mirrored her own journey. Reflecting on the period, the singer said she was away on a work trip in South Africa when the fire occurred and married Hemsworth shortly afterward. She later described the loss as transformative, saying it reshaped how she views life and resilience. Cyrus also confirmed in recent interviews that her Malibu home has now been fully rebuilt, seven years after the wildfire.

- Bebe Cool Biography: Age, Family, Songs & Ugandan Music Legacy
Read Bebe Cool’s verified biography: real name, age, family, education, songs, albums, awards and influence on Ugandan and East African music. Bebe Cool is a Ugandan singer, songwriter and bandleader whose grainy voice helped connect reggae and dancehall to East Africa’s modern urban-pop era. Born Moses Ssali, he began recording professionally in Nairobi in 1997, became an early Ogopa Deejays affiliate and later built Gagamel International in Kampala. His catalogue stretches from regional staples such as “Fitina,” “Mambo Mingi” and “Love You Everyday” to the 2025 album Break the Chains . He also shares music and public commentary through his official X account . Nearly three decades into his career, his defining achievement is sustained reinvention across Ugandan, Kenyan and pan-African music spaces. Who is Bebe Cool? Bebe Cool is Moses Ssali, a Ugandan reggae, dancehall and Afropop artist who began his career in Nairobi in 1997. He helped popularise East African bashment, won the 2018 AFRIMA for Best Male Artiste in Eastern Africa and remains active through Gagamel International. Heritage and Kampala Voice: Reggae, Dancehall and Regional Identity Bebe Cool’s music has always travelled between languages and scenes. His official biography describes him as a reggae, dancehall and Afrobeats artist, while his earlier catalogue used Luganda, Swahili and English to reach listeners across Uganda and Kenya. The result is a style that can move from reggae’s steady pulse to ragga phrasing, dancehall urgency and polished Afropop hooks without losing his unmistakably rough-edged vocal tone.

Born Moses Ssali, he began recording professionally in Nairobi in 1997, became an early Ogopa Deejays affiliate and later built Gagamel International in Kampala. His catalogue stretches from regional staples such as “Fitina,” “Mambo Mingi” and “Love You Everyday” to the 2025 album Break the Chains . He also shares music and public commentary through his official X account . Nearly three decades into his career, his defining achievement is sustained reinvention across Ugandan, Kenyan and pan-African music spaces. Who is Bebe Cool? Bebe Cool is Moses Ssali, a Ugandan reggae, dancehall and Afropop artist who began his career in Nairobi in 1997. He helped popularise East African bashment, won the 2018 AFRIMA for Best Male Artiste in Eastern Africa and remains active through Gagamel International. Heritage and Kampala Voice: Reggae, Dancehall and Regional Identity Bebe Cool’s music has always travelled between languages and scenes. His official biography describes him as a reggae, dancehall and Afrobeats artist, while his earlier catalogue used Luganda, Swahili and English to reach listeners across Uganda and Kenya. The result is a style that can move from reggae’s steady pulse to ragga phrasing, dancehall urgency and polished Afropop hooks without losing his unmistakably rough-edged vocal tone. That flexibility places him inside a wider XTRAfrica dancehall catalogue , but his work is not simply an East African imitation of Jamaican music. “Fitina” and “Mambo Mingi” localised the form through regional languages and Kampala showmanship, while “Born in Africa” made African identity part of his performance vocabulary. The clearest late-career statement of this instinct is Break the Chains . In a 2025 OkayAfrica interview about the album , he explained why he allowed a younger creative team to challenge his habits: “I would rather lose my ego than lose my fame, my name, my business.” The quote captures a career principle visible across his catalogue: survival depends on adjusting the sound without abandoning the personality behind it. Formative Life: Kanyanya, Science Classes and a Promise to His Mother Moses Ssali was born at Mulago Hospital in Kampala on 1 September 1977 and grew up in Kanyanya. He is 48 years old as of 6 August 2026. His father was Jaberi Bidandi Ssali, a prominent Ugandan politician and sports administrator. Bebe Cool has described growing up mainly under the care of his mother after his parents separated. He attended Aga Khan Primary School, Kitante Hill School and Makerere College School. At A-Level he studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. A teacher’s lessons about self-employment made him consider music as work, while his family’s finances made earning feel urgent. In a detailed Pulse Uganda account of his school years , he said that wanting to support his mother pushed him toward professional music. He left before completing A-Level, presenting the decision as a plan with responsibilities rather than an escape from discipline. Breakthrough: Nairobi, Ogopa and the East African Bashment Idea In 1997, Bebe Cool took a bus from Kampala to Nairobi to pursue recording opportunities. The move placed him inside a Kenyan industry that was building new radio-friendly identities around urban East African music. He struggled at first and later recalled staying with a security guard while trying to find a studio. A meeting with producer Lucas Bikedo eventually connected him to Ogopa Deejays, the label and production house associated with the region’s turn-of-the-century pop boom. ADVERTISEMENT Nairobi expanded his network and audience. He worked near artists such as Redsan and Jose Chameleone and developed material that could cross the Uganda–Kenya border. “Fitina” and “Mambo Mingi” made his solo voice recognisable, while collaborations showed that East African artists could build a regional market. That idea became literal in 2004 when Bebe Cool joined Kenyan duo Necessary Noize Nazizi Hirji and Wyre to form the East African Bashment Crew. Records such as “Africa Unite,” “Kube” and “Fire Anthem” fused reggae and dancehall language with a regional identity. The group earned continental nominations and strengthened a collaborative model that later East African pop acts would take for granted. Achievements and Artistic Craft: From “Fitina” to Break the Chains Bebe Cool’s solo catalogue developed through Maisha , Sente , Nkolera Banabange and Go Mama . Early hits established his reggae and ragga command; later songs such as “Love You Everyday,” “Coccidiosis,” “Wire Wire” and “Feeling” moved further into polished pop and cross-border collaboration. His XTRAfrica songs page now provides a direct route into that evolving catalogue. The 2025 single “Motivation” on XTRAfrica introduced the energy and resilience themes that shaped Break the Chains . Released on 30 May 2025, the 16-track album documented by Apple Music blended Afropop, Afrotech and Afro-house with Bebe Cool’s established voice. The guest list widened the generational conversation. Joshua Baraka appeared on “Cheque,” while Nigerian star Yemi Alade joined “Games.” For Bebe Cool, these were more than fashionable features: they placed a veteran from East Africa’s first modern urban-pop wave beside artists shaped by streaming, short-form video and today’s borderless Afropop economy. Selected achievements Began his professional career in Nairobi in 1997 and became an early Ogopa Deejays affiliate. Co-founded the East African Bashment Crew with Necessary Noize in 2004. Performed at the 46664 concert celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday in London in 2008. Won the 2018 AFRIMA for Best Male Artiste in Eastern Africa. Released the 16-track Break the Chains album in 2025 and the seven-track No Risk EP in 2026. Bebe Cool Career Timeline Year Event Significance 1997 Moved from Kampala to Nairobi and began working in the Ogopa Deejays orbit Opened a regional route for his career and exposed him to Kenya’s developing urban-pop industry. 2004 Formed the East African Bashment Crew with Necessary Noize Turned cross-border collaboration into a defining part of his musical identity. 2008 Performed at the 46664 Mandela birthday concert in Hyde Park Put a Ugandan artist on a major global benefit stage and connected his music to public advocacy. 2010 Survived a police shooting and later the Kampala World Cup bombings Marked a traumatic period that shaped his public language about resilience. 2018 Won Best Male Artiste in Eastern Africa at AFRIMA Delivered one of the clearest independently documented continental honours of his solo career. 2025 Released Break the Chains Reframed his sound for Afropop’s digital era through younger collaborators and new production styles. 2026 Released the No Risk EP Extended his reinvention with Afrobeat, dancehall, reggaeton and R&B across seven tracks. Personal Journey: Survival, Family and a Public Life Bebe Cool has sometimes been polarising where music, celebrity competition and politics overlap. Yet his most consequential personal challenges extend beyond entertainment rivalry. In January 2010, Daily Monitor reported that he underwent surgery after being shot in both legs. Months later, he was present at Kyadondo Rugby Club during the July 2010 bombings. Reflecting on those events during a BBC interview later reported by Pulse Uganda , he described the mindset he used to continue: “I said, let me use this and become a stronger person.” His family life is unusually visible for a long-running East African celebrity marriage. Bebe Cool and Zuena Kirema formalised their union in 2003 and have remained together for more than two decades. New Vision’s reporting describes Zuena as more private than her husband. Reports about their number of children vary, so a permanent count requires caution. ADVERTISEMENT Legacy and Impact: Music as Service and Industry Influence Bebe Cool’s public work has extended beyond concerts. His 2008 appearance at Hyde Park formed part of the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s 46664 HIV/AIDS-awareness concert . In Uganda, he later worked as a tuberculosis ambassador through the Amber Heart Foundation. In 2020, Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng publicly encouraged him to focus that campaign on young concert audiences, according to ChimpReports’ report on the meeting . His industry influence also appears in institution-building. He has led Gagamel International, supported younger performers and served in the Uganda National Musicians Federation under Eddy Kenzo’s leadership . He belongs to the generation that professionalised Uganda’s post-1990s pop scene while learning to work across borders with limited infrastructure. His legacy is therefore double-sided: a catalogue of enduring songs and a model of the artist as manager, bandleader, campaigner and cultural entrepreneur. Not every public position has been universally accepted, but longevity at his level has required more than fame. It has required a working organisation, a recognisable artistic identity and the ability to keep finding an audience as media systems change. Looking Ahead: No Risk and the Refusal to Retire Creatively The next chapter arrived on 12 June 2026 with No Risk . The seven-track EP on Apple Music moves through Afrobeat, dancehall, reggaeton and R&B, with songs including “Kakebere,” “Bundle,” “Melodies,” “Target” and “Joromai.” It is not a new studio album, but it confirms that Break the Chains was a reset rather than a one-off experiment. In his 2025 Buzz Central interview , Bebe Cool rejected the assumption that experience should end in creative withdrawal: “You take 20-30 years to build social capital, then the world tells you to retire.” That argument explains his present direction: collaboration, digital releases and new genre combinations. No promised album or retirement plan is documented; his future is visible in an active release cycle testing how a foundational Ugandan pop voice can operate in a younger market.

- WHY RAM prices keep exceedingly rising in 2026 and what comes next
DRAM supply is concentrated among three giants, and AI infrastructure is outbidding consumers. Here’s what RAMageddon is and what to expect next. “RAMageddon” is the nickname some outlets are using for a simple, frustrating reality: the memory inside almost every modern gadget is getting more expensive, and the squeeze is spreading from DIY PC upgrades to laptops , phones, and even consoles. The reason it feels like the whole tech world is catching the flu at once is that DRAM (the core ingredient behind most system memory) sits everywhere. Whether you’re building a PC, buying a new laptop, or picking up the next handheld gaming device, you’re ultimately competing for the same foundational supply that keeps the digital lights on. So what is RAMageddon? At its core, RAMageddon is what happens when a highly concentrated supply chain meets a sudden, sustained surge in high-paying demand. In DRAM, the market is dominated by three manufacturers Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Micron who collectively represent the overwhelming majority of global DRAM output and revenue. That concentration matters because when big buyers show up with bigger budgets, there aren’t many alternate producers that can quickly step in to stabilize pricing. And in 2026, the biggest buyer class in the room is tied to AI infrastructure hyperscale data centers, cloud providers, and the companies building and training large models . Why AI demand makes the consumer problem worse AI systems don’t just need “more chips.” They need specific kinds of memory at massive volumes, and suppliers prioritize what brings the best margins and the most predictable long-term contracts. A key example is high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is used heavily alongside AI accelerators in data centers and has been a major focus for investment and capacity allocation. When capacity shifts toward those higher-margin segments, it can tighten supply for “regular” consumer DRAM. That’s one of the reasons PC and device makers have been warning that today’s channel inventory may represent the best pricing window for a while. And it’s not just theory. HP, for example, has described a sharp jump in memory costs in recent reporting, tying it to a global DRAM shortage and supplier prioritization dynamics. A concrete signal: Micron’s Crucial pivot Continue Reading Full Article TECH TRENDS WHY RAM prices keep exceedingly rising in 2026 and what comes next By The Editorial Staff Public Services The Editorial Staff Home Comment Mar 4, 2026 May 15, 2026 5 min read Copy link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Published Updated: “RAMageddon” is the nickname some outlets are using for a simple, frustrating reality: the memory inside almost every modern gadget is getting more expensive, and the squeeze is spreading from DIY PC upgrades to laptops , phones, and even consoles.

HP, for example, has described a sharp jump in memory costs in recent reporting, tying it to a global DRAM shortage and supplier prioritization dynamics. A concrete signal: Micron’s Crucial pivot One of the clearest “this is real” signals for consumers came when Micron announced it would exit the Crucial consumer business a move the company explicitly linked to AI-driven growth in the data center and a desire to improve supply for larger strategic customers. That doesn’t mean consumer RAM disappears overnight, but it can reduce competitive pressure and limit a vailability in familiar retail channels . ADVERTISEMENT What gets hit first (and why it spreads) RAM price increases tend to show up earliest where buyers are most price-sensitive and where memory is easiest to compare line-by-line: PC components and prebuilt PCs. But because DRAM is embedded across product categories, the effect spreads: Laptops and desktops: OEMs either eat margin, downgrade configs, or raise prices. Phones and tablets: even small bill-of-materials increases can push retail prices up, especially in midrange segments where margins are tight. Consoles and handhelds: when supply is tight, launches and restocks can get trickier, and pricing pressure creeps into bundles and regional MSRPs (depending on vendor strategy). In short: once memory becomes a chokepoint, it doesn’t stay contained to one aisle of the store. How long could this last? Nobody can responsibly give a single guaranteed end date, but the direction of travel is clear in many industry forecasts: tightness is expected to persist through 2026, with normalization dependent on (1) new capacity coming online and (2) whether AI infrastructure demand stays as aggressive as it is now. TrendForce, for instance, has described conditions that support broad memory price increases as suppliers focus on higher-margin applications even when consumer demand is softer.

The Presidency clarified that the national duty of remembrance remains distinct from the formal legal classification of genocide, which falls under the authority of competent international judicial institutions. Congolese Embassies Given a New Mission President Tshisekedi also directed Congolese diplomatic and consular missions to promote what the government calls a “diplomacy of memory, truth and justice.” Under this approach, embassies will help bring the experiences of Congolese victims before international institutions and foreign governments while building support for recognition, accountability and historical justice.

- Fela Kuti to Receive Posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
Late Nigerian icon Fela Kuti will receive a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his global impact on music. According to Tribune Online , Nigerian music legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti will be posthumously honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, nearly three decades after his death in 1997. The award, which has been presented by the Recording Academy since 1963, recognizes artists who have made lasting contributions to the recording industry. Fela Kuti becomes the first African musician to receive the distinction, marking a historic moment for African music on the global stage. Fela, widely regarded as the pioneer of Afrobeat, blended West African rhythms with jazz, funk and politically charged lyrics to create a genre that reshaped modern African music. Over a career spanning roughly 30 years, he released more than 50 albums and used his work to openly challenge corruption, authoritarianism and social injustice in Nigeria. His son, musician Seun Kuti , welcomed the recognition, describing it as an acknowledgment of his father’s enduring influence. He said the honour reflects how deeply Fela’s music and message have resonated with people worldwide over time. Longtime friend and former manager Rikki Stein also described the award as overdue, noting that global institutions have historically overlooked African contributions to popular music. He said the recognition signals a shift in how African cultural influence is being acknowledged internationally. The announcement comes amid growing global attention on African music. In recent years, the Grammys have expanded their categories to reflect the rise of African and global sounds, including the introduction of the Best African Performance category in 2024. Fela Kuti, born Olufela Olusegun Oludoton Ransome-Kuti, was also known for his activism beyond music. His criticism of Nigeria’s military governments led to repeated arrests and violent reprisals, including the 1977 raid on his Kalakuta Republic compound, during which his mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, sustained fatal injuries. Family members, friends and collaborators are expected to receive the Grammy award on his behalf at the ceremony.
