| Wizkid Did Not Get Nominated For A Grammy Award! Read Why by Nnysher: 10:58am On Dec 07, 2016 |
I read to my consternation on Premium Times and on Nairaland that Wizkid was nominated for a Grammy Award for "his role in Drake's single, One Dance." I browsed through the Grammy nominations, which were unveiled yesterday by last year's Best New Artist winner Meghan Trainor, and there was not a single nomination for Drake's "One Dance" or Wizkid. Rather, what I saw there were nominations for Drake's album "Views." They are quite different scenarios. If a "record" or "performance" gets nominated, the nomination goes to all the artistes who performed the track. As we all know, Drake, Kyla and Wizkid were the artistes on the track, One Dance. However, One Dance was neither nominated as a record or a performance in any of the categories, hence Wizkid did not get a nomination. Secondly, if a "song" gets nominated, the nomination goes to the songwriters of the track, not the performers. As we all also know, the songwriting for One Dance was credited to Drake, Wizkid and a host of others. Then again, One Dance was not nominated as a song in any of the nominations, hence Wizkid was not nominated. However, the album that had One Dance in it, "Views," was nominated in several categories. But, that doesn't mean that all the individual tracks in the album were nominated. Rather, it just means that the album as a whole was nominated as a body of work. Herein, the nominations will go to the artiste(s), producers and the mastering engineers of the album. "Views" is Drake's album so he's the sole artiste. Wizkid did not produce the album and he also was not a mastering engineer. Hence, Wizkid gets no nomination again. There is so much misinformation going on in Nigeria and I wonder if it's due to illiteracy, pure mischief, the rise of the social media or the sheer laziness of our journalist in digging deep and getting their facts right. If you are still in doubt, visit any of these sites and find out for yourself if there's a single mention of Wizkid: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7597556/grammys-nominees-complete-list-2017 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-ms-2017-grammy-nominations-live-updates-20161205-htmlstory.html 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Asawana123: Seriously how did he inform people?? 'Views' album as a work of art was nominated and Drake is the owner of Views album. It's only natural for him to acknowledge everyone (artist) who contributed to it's success but they won't be sharing his award with him! Seriously no one is beefing Wizkid, but you people should stop making the outside world think Nigerians to be intellectually low with the kind of things that we say and rejoice over 4 Likes 1 Share |

Every artiste who contributes to an album nominated for Album of The Year automatically get a nomination also. Chimamanda Adichie got a nomination in 2015 when Beyonce got nominated for the album of the year because Beyonce sampled her speech on a song. So Wizkid actually has a nomination also. His name is on the Grammys website also. 1 Like |

[quote author=CecyAdrian post=51712160] Seriously how did he inform people?? 'Views' album as a work of art was nominated and Drake is the owner of Views album. It's only natural for him to acknowledge everyone (artist) who contributed to it's success but they won't be sharing his award with him! According to the Grammys rules, all the names listed under Drake from featured artists to producers and studio engineers will be sharing his award if he wins cos they contributed to it. I'm not a fan of Wizkid but fact is fact. 1 Like |

neeyah212:You are wrong. Chimamanda got nominated because Beyonce's track "Flawless" was nominated. Always get your facts right before you start spewing trash. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nnysher:I think you are the one who need to get your facts right cos you are the one definitely spewing trash. Flawless was never nominated for a grammy. Her nominations that year were for Album of The year, urban contemporary album, best music film, best surround album and R&B song and R&B performance for Drunk in love. Drunk in love was the only single she was nominated for.

Nnysher: Album of the Year is the most prestigious award category at the Grammys having been presented since 1959 . Although it was originally presented to the artist alone, the award is now presented to the main artist, the featured artist(s), the producer, the engineer and/or mixer and the mastering engineer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year |
