Senbanjo, took to his Instagram account, saying, “The only thing better than winning a Grammy is having your art in their museum."

For Senbanjo, everything, including the human body is his canvas. Although, we were led to believe that Nike was the Nigerian artist’s first largest platform to feature his work but Beyoncé’sLemonade actually came first.

According to Senbanjo, “Beyoncé actually happened before Nike. I couldn’t talk about it at all.” He’d been “walking out and about with this big secret and this big smile on his face.”
