Although Wizkid and Bloody Civilian contributed significantly to the Grammy-winning album, they may not receive individual Grammy awards. According to the Best Reggae Album category rules, only main credited artists, producers, and engineers are eligible for a trophy.
Featured contributors like Wizkid and Bloody Civilian are not automatically recognized. However, they can apply for a Grammy Participation Certificate to acknowledge their role in the album’s creation.

In a series of tweets on X, Samklef claimed that Davido was inspired to make a song with Bob Marley’s grandson after he heard about him planning a feature with Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy.
