Not one of them is Nigerian. Anyway, they all won the less competitive categories. Let them go for song and record of the, album of the year, the pop, rnb, rap and electronic dance field categories so we can see what happens. Anyway, like we ought to say, grammy na grammy. These people are inspirational. The much overrated 2face, D'banj, Davido, Banky W and co should take note. Brymo and Timi Dakolo are so good but they're usually outshined but the overrated noise makers cos Nigerians don't know what music is. 7 Likes |
