On the frontpage, the topic said "Nigerian based musician." Shade Adu wasn't even born in Nigeria.

Wrong again. Sade Adu was born in Ibadan before moving to the UK. She was the first Nigerian to win a Grammy - fact. Why don’t people do their research before posting crap?

Which crap are you talking about? Sade's mother is British... After she separated with her Nigerian father, she moved back to UK with Sade... Sade was 4 at the time. Have you ever heard or seen her claiming to be a Nigerian? She lived all her adult life in UK. She only spent 4 years here... How can you call her a Nigerian musician. Let's stop claiming people who don't want any associations with Nigeria. Once again, the post on front page said.. "Nigerian based musician." Technically speaking, Sade is not a Nigerian based musician. #Fact

What does timaya sing to win Grammy award? You think the whites listen to his kpangolo music .

its obvious you've not left the shores of this country... Go to The Caribbeans you'll know that he doesn't even have fans in Nigeria.

King of afro-dancehall, Timaya, may become the first Nigerian-based act to win Grammy award, haven bagged a Grammy Nomination for featuring on Morgan Heritage’s album “Avrakedabra”.

The first Nigerian, though not based in Nigeria, who won an award at the Grammy was Cynthia Erivo, a singer and actress born in London to Nigerian immigrants.

Cynthia had won a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album for the cast recording of the musical The Color Purple in 2016.

However, Timaya who featured alongside Ghanaian Afro-pop singer, Stonebwoy, Chubb Rock, Stylo G, Bunji Garlin, Dre Zion & Jaheil on Morgan Heritage’s “Avrekedabra” may become the first Nigerian-based act to win the award if the album wins the category at the 60thGrammy Awards which will air live from the Madison Square Gardens on January 28, 2018.

Morgan Heritage is a reggae band formed in 1994 by five children of reggae artiste, Denroy Morgan. The band comprises Peter “Peetah” Morgan, Una Morgan, Roy “Gramps” Morgan, Nakhamyah “Lukes” Morgan, and Memmalatel “Mr. Mojo” Morgan.

“Avrekedabra” was nominated for the Best Reggae Album award and will slug it out with “Chronology” by Chronixx, “Lost in Paradise” by Common Kings, “Wash House Ting” by J Boog and “Stony Hill” by Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.

Wizkid and Kah-Lo also got to the nomination in 2016 but failed to win any award.

Obviously talking from an emotional standpoint? She was born in Nigeria and you cannot deny that fact nor does take away her accomplishments because she simply does not reside in Nigeria. Did she tell you she was not Nigerian?

If CARDI B can get Nominated by virtue of being an amerian, Timaya who is infinitely more talented is more than qualified .

With dat im yeye song... Pangolo abi.. Hahaaaaa

You still don't get my point. The post says "NIGERIAN BASED MUSICIAN." do you know what that means? By the way, I am a Yoruba guy that lives in Ibadan.

I don't see how this is news..

He got a feature on an album that is Grammy nominated. So? Why are people masturbating to that fact? Is he the only one or his he the first?

It's not like the project is even his.

KushyKush:
Lmao...Seriously I don't know why I am laughing.

Timaya bawo? Do you know how many A list artistes are under the same category?

yea... Just like wizkid snatched his award from the likes of jayz, Drake and others right?

The first Nigerian to win a grammy- Sade Adu, then Seal for Kiss from the rose.

Seal already won 4 grammy Awards...He is a Nigerian and an afonja...

But I don't see timaya or that Morgan whatever winning, because Damian Marley is in the same category.

Abi my pple Wetin ins think?

Seems you don't know much about reggae groups and/or musicians.

Morgan Heritage is a reggae supergroup. It won't be their first Grammy if they cop this one. IMO, their only contestant in that group is Damian and they just might trump him...just.

You said Sade was not born in Nigeria and I pointed out your error.

thoollz:
See d picture una use represent timaya.

If he wins it, he wont b d only person, stonebwoy will also b d first Ghanaian based artiste to win it.

I don't consider it as winning d Grammy though, i think it's d privilege of featuring

Lol! @least he'll be the first nigerian based artiste to win it via "the privilege of featuring"

BruncleZuma:

Op nah this Ogologomma picture of Timaya you wan take get the Grammy?

Op wetin we go come do Uncle Femi Kuti wen get two Grammy Nominations but e no win?

femi got 4 Grammy nominations

fuckingAyaya:
femi got 4 Grammy nominations

I stand corrected...

Grammy for that nonsense he sings?

is high time for this timaya to even be nominated, the guy good,

I think we should stop hyping this Grammy awards because they don't give shit about our music and our people, Grammy awards is for them we also need to hype ours!!!!

naso wizkid win dem drake, migos, kendrick, dj khalid, jay z etc... don't be negative

If a Nigerian artiste wants to win a Grammy award s/he should work hard and produce good music,no disrespects but what davido,wizkid and the likes are doing is not Grammy worthy at all ,we have to try and improve the content of our music if not even in the next 20 yrs we would still be hoping to win a Grammy from nominations as a featured artiste in a reggae album

he winning it by proxy na, why are nigerians hyping another mans work asdatof Timaya?
