Do you know that J.Cole sampled the song "Gentleman" by legendary Nigerian Musician,Fela Anikulapo Kuti In the single "Let Nas Down" released in 2012,where he rapped about Nas not being impressed by his song "work out".A remix of that song was done with Nas titled "Made Nas Proud".Even Nas'es grandfather was a Nigerian Jazz musician.Good to see Fela and other Nigerians receiving global recognition!.

Old news. Fela is respected globally.

Kendrick Lamar sampled one of Fela's songs in his song, "Mortal Man". Will Smith and Jay Z sponsored a Broadway musical based on his life. Jay Z said in his song, " Blue's Freestyle/ We Family " that he bumps Fela. Beyonce, Erykah Badu and many others have also given him props.
