But way better than your father. Cause my father thought me to respect peoples opinion even if you don't agree with them. If at all u feel the need to talk. Pls, talk in a civilized manner. State ur views and Move ON.

This my papa, if He catch U ehn U go collect!

I tried to respect ur opinion, buh it was too rude. So I fired. If U notice, nor be only me attack U.

U talked like a pure breed ignorant SLAVE

Again, it is no News Nairaland is filled with Kids who are still in secondary school or with little to no working brain cells. I said what I said, and what I said cannot Be UNSAID. U don't Like it? Hit The ROAD.
U'd expect people who run their mouth like most of you to come up with thumping logics/views to counter what I said. But no! Rather u have a bunch of distorted beings Cursing at their respective fathers that it is Me.
Again, award shows e.t.c have rules. U don't dictate for them. The least u could do is Vent ur anger via any platform or any means. And best believe only those who have WEIGHT would have the Vents Make/force 'The BODY" to shift Grounds. Otherwise, nobody cares. More often than none, it doesn't work.
If The GRAMMYS that is the biggest Musical Award and most cherised by artist Standard could and still hand out awards to Winners Off T.V/telecast who are Bigger, with Music that actually has substance and Message than this Kid on here saying he didn't showUP cause of where the BET award is being given to him can still receive their award and be grateful*Including Whites*, for u Racist restive souls who are quick to throw up the race card at any chance* then you need to give ur brain a re-check.
He doesn't like it? Oh, cool. MOVE on. BET Won't Notice for One Bit that someone/something is Amiss. Not like the said act brings in ratings to start with. Award shows won't come down for u nigerians in the name of being Black. Are u guys the only black souls walking the surface of the earth?
In b4 someone would want to be the voice of reason comes here to say 'because its been done like that in the past doesn't mean it's okay TALK" go and find out what rules bind the "BODY"

It's even better he tells them not to have him up for nominations at all.Outright Boycott would be fitting, if he's that in his Feelings. If maybe this was a better Case a las Taylor swift vs ITUNES,or even a good cause, then we wud be rallying behind him. BUT this Isn't.

lols.. sound like a kid yourself.. get your facts right.. wizkid won, but since he didn't attend the pre-show, they gave it to another.. who be stoneboy? lolxxx.

#justsaying

wizkid is right....africans shuld focus on mtvbase award, channel o award and other african based award. BET and grammy's are for americans. the discrimination too much. Perhaps na people like 2chainz, young thug, meek mills etc dey front sit, so wts d big deal awardng africans in the main event. If lupita won an oscar who is BET

southniyikaye:
u people don't even understand, should I call it racism or under estimation?they give the likes of nicki minaj and other s award in the main event but give Africans award back stage before the show begins and they even interview behind the stage,for how long must they treat us that way? If they could do this at BET,then it's a clear message Africans shouldn't dream of GRAMMY

You're Right.......Grammy Is not for Africa..........Femi Kuti was Nominated SIx Times and he never won Among those Six Times..........I hate It When Nigeria Artiste Talk abt wining Grammy........It Is Obvious it is for United State artiste and U.K Artiste.

Are you a Nigerian or Ghanian?

Seriuosly speaking, it is high time African artists stopped going for the foolish and indignifying award. I love BET but dis is the sigular reason why I hate them sometimes. If whites whom we are branding racists would organise Gramin award and present it to Africans artists openly in d middle of the program, I see no reason why an award meant to celebrate Blacks/Africans who have craved a nitch in their respective endeavours should be done on segregation and clossed door to fellow Africans. To those of you blamin Wizkids, pls note that change can only occure wen we both make ourselves agents of the same change. I can bet it with you that if all africans invited ignored the invitation on the same ground, the organisers will adjust and borrow leaf from MTV BASE doing the same thing. We are humans not animals.

There's no where in my post where I said wizkid is wrong in throwing shades at BET, I said he needs to state his grievances in a more professional way, not like a 12 year old.

P.didy had an altercation with the police recently at his son's school, did he "lol" about it? No he didn't, he responded as a professional that has a reputation because he didn't see himself as an individual, but has a brand. Before Wizkid typed those tweets, he needed to ask himself, how does this help me close the next endorsement or deal, what will this add to my brand.

In business there's no room for emotions, you rather focus on how the next decision will benefit your enterprise in the long run, that's why the likes of D'Banj are closing deals almost every month, from Ciroc to Beats to United Nations.

No 1 can succum 2 ur coment here man! Even if u ar nt is fan nd @ d same time u hate him, u still av to speak d truth.

Way back 2009 wen d BET award start d international act (Africa) it was always present to the African @ d back of d stage (5hrs before d ceremony) to me i think it's uncalled for coz we all call ourselves black, so dat mean we're nt recognised (Africa) by the American.

Pls, if you don't know what slave mentality is I'd advice u keep MUTE. U don't have no right whatsoever to tell BET how to run their Show. Do you? Oh u don't like how or when the award is being handed out fine? Just Boycott and Move the heck On. Why drum up storm? If you aren't catching feelings?

Lash on you. Do you an idea on how BET runs it. Everyone has a motives of expression. If wizkid didn't like what he seen in the last. I guess he has every right to focus on some important things. Instead of the fvck shows. Mind you he just sign a deal worth of $600k to gloworld ng. So thus that stop him for his achievement. Find some thing to do bro.

Backyard award. Good for him

no2fuks:
bet awards is for american audience you cant
expect them to bring out ppl the public is not
familiar with. african artist should not accept the
award if they dont like it

so why nominating them for the award in the first place since the audience doesn't know who they are, African americans need to feel Superior over some people, now they feel its over "free-born" africans they can be superior.

these is exactly how they were been treated back in the days, now they want to do it to african artiste

jiggaz:
I like Wizkid for saying the truth and dis is the same reason Yemi Alade & Fuse ODG did not attend and they made it known to BET as well.

Now for all u ignorant Nairalanders attacking Wizkid for dis tweet, lemme tell u guys what u don't know. I dont see why BET should be discriminating against African Artistes in an award show like dis, shebi na black people we be?.

The gate keepers of the American music knows dat if they give African artistes a chance, they might steal their market in America. That's why they treat African artistes like second class citizens or pretend dat they don't know dat we got a vibrant music industry in Africa. African artistes need to wake up!! Come on, we don't need validation from the West to know dat we are good!!! Africa is a continent of over 800 million people!!! Who needs America They can keep their yeye backstage award. An award show dat most American A-List artiste did not even attend sef. 50 Cent was even blasting dem on an instagram video. Lets forget about dem. The BEST AFRICAN ACT AWARD sef no dey do anything for the artiste career sef. Na only title. The African market is soo huge and has sooo many potential, let our artistes explore dem, see how PSquare dem are breaking ground in North Africa.

I have soo many things to say about the American music industry and African American themselves. To start with, these Black Americans have a condescending attitude towards Africans even if u were born in the states. Infact, lemme leave it here, Akatas and their wahala too much.

So i support Wizkid, Yemi Alade & Fuse ODG for not attending, we are not fools. Dat was how Grammy Awards were giving Black Hiphop acts their awards backstage back in the day and they fought against it. Now they are coming to do it to their fellow Blacks too?? Cos we are Africans To hell with Dem!!! I support you Wizkid!!!

As much as WizKid might have a valid point. A collection of Artists voices will make an impact with a more sensible tweet that getting the message lost and diluted in a series of numerous tweets . That's the much better way to drive home his point

Back to the idea that the U.S. Bn scared of stealing their market, very funny' can we please crawl first before we run, let's even start paying proper royalties to our artists and making quality CD's first before we start to act all big.

If we don't need their market what is Wizkid doing in U.S. Chasing after hip hop artists and fanning all over with rappers just to up his game.

The music market is miles ahead of our music let's face it

From catalogue and media with all sorts of channel to carry music, we are still playing catch up

We hardly even do our video back home at home, we always head for the U.S., UK or even SA just to shoot 3 minute videos with naked girls dancing all over

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves . African music is unique, but surely it won't dent a bit on the huge U.S. market . FACT

Thumbs up to wizkid. He got dis one right this time, though i fear there might be a backlash, but the who cares, wizkid is churning out hits they are dancing to. BET is an xclusive to the african american entertainment industry, when they are keen on making the awards a wholly black, all encompassing, they should let us know. For now, the african entertainment is on lightning speed without any contribution from BET.

What's GLO' s return of investment for them to give him 600k dollars . It's all overhyped please

Wiz kids message is diluted by the kind of tweet he Sen out .

Most of the artists are done based on your reviewing company and the power you pull form sales

Did Wizkid sell albums in US just like the clown American rappers do . No

U.S. Is it not the same boring talentless meek mill and clown d same wiz kid chases all over glorifying them lik Demi gods

Tell me what slave mentality is you Dimwit.

I can't stand these no-future, second class and of course No-family-history-background Black Americans. They are freaking repulsive and disgusting.......

You better shut that mouth of yours before Amadioha shut that bacteria-harbouring mouth.

You shamelessly come here to tell us to boycott the freaking worthless award jamboree if we are not cool about the whole arrangement. Are u serious? Do you tell the freaking second class African Americans to stay away from Oscar back in the days when the same treatment was being dished out to them? No I presumed.

Do you ask these No-family-history and second class Black Americans to stay where they rightfully belong in USA cos US is not their fathers' land? And if they are tired of how they are being treated in US by white people, they should book their tickets and make their way to Africa continent where these animals belong.

This business of BET giving African artistes awards backstage did not start today and it is a clear indication of how little they regard Africans and our music.

I remember a while ago they tried to get Shabba Ranks (an international dance hall Jamaican artiste and grammy award recipient) to perform onstage along with about 5 other Jamaican acts for a total of about 5 minutes- he refused point black - he explains why here:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs1MI-JCbzI

People will only treat you the way you allow them to treat you. African artistes are supposed to have boycotted BET a long time ago because the people who run it do not respect African people or our music.

I respect Shabba ranks for refusing to be treated like a coon by BET, Nigerian artistes on the other hand have zero self respect, is it just now that Whiz kid has realised that they don't present awards to African artisites in front of a live BET audience, the very first time they gave him the award in an empty theatre he should have handed it straight back to them and told them where to shove it.

BET is run by African Americans but owned by whites, most of the executive decisions are made by whites but African americans still have a say in certain decisions therefore they can step in and put a stop to this if they felt it was necessary, but they wont. The bitter truth is that the average African American has no respect or admiration for Africans, some of them recognise Africa as the motherland but in most cases its just lip service, deep down inside they don't want to be affiliated with anything to do with Africa.

I respect African Americans for their immense talent, creativity and ingenuity when it comes to entertainment but I think that many of them have nothing but contempt for Africans.

These sort of things should serve as a wake up call for Nigerians - STOP COPYING AFRICAN AMERICANS AND DO YOUR OWN THING!!!!!!!!!
LET PEOPLE COPY YOU AND TRY TO SPEAK WITH YOUR ACCENT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!!!!!
The so called whiz kid is nothing but a second rate version of an African American rapper - same way of speaking, same "swag", same tattoos, he even copies the average African American rapper's lifestyle by having a baby mama smdh!!!

Why would the average African American artiste buy a watered down version of their own artistes when they have the real deal?
The other day I was listening to Ice Prince being interviewed on an American radio show called the breakfast club and one of the first questions charlamagne asked him was "why do you think American music is embraced in Nigeria so much but Nigerian music isn't embraced here by black americans!!!!!

Listening to the interview you start to wonder why this so called Naija guy is speaking with an American accent when he was born and bred in Nigeria. Do Jamaican artistes born and bred in Jamaica speak with American or british accents?

Tomorrow Amber Rose, Rick Ross, Rhianna and co will come to Nigeria and you will roll out the red carpet for them but when you go to their country they wont even recognise you or your music - shame!

We need to get our act together, learn self respect, learn to love ourselves - then and only then will people respect us.

Kolade354:
You're Right.......Grammy Is not for Africa..........Femi Kuti was Nominated SIx Times and he never won Among those Six Times..........I hate It When Nigeria Artiste Talk abt wining Grammy........It Is Obvious it is for United State artiste and U.K Artiste.

So because kuti was nominated 6times and didn't win it, now makes the grammys an award for just US and UK? Would it not have been best for you to speak on something you're at least more informed about? You logic just flew out the window, and it's not a goodlook. Carry on, but before I let You
RApPER NAS HAS BEEN NOMINATED 13 GOOD TIMES, and HE HAS NOT NOTCHED A WIN I bet He is from somali, right? And the list goes On and On. Besides it only Goes to show You, The competition is Stiff as at when the nomination came for kuti. Besides BET is not a NIGERian award or for NIGERIAN audience.

lusciouslex:
Dude, you don't agree our artists are inferior to 'em black niggas, do you? Some people have to learn English 1st before they want to feel among. What was it with Ice Prince when interviewed on stage by Sam last year? He said nothing but kept repeating 'you know what am saying' that "fvck you" could have been his next line. Davido's nose block and sore throat were equally a notable flop. Ask Kcee about his grammy experience last year and he'll sincerely tell you we don't fit in. #Fake people just dey monkey around. What could possibly make Sound Sultan organize a basketball all stars weekend in Lagos instead of a traditional wrestling or football? Who are the lovers of basketball in this country? Who are the basketball players when: 3pointers, free throws, ball play, stunts, costumes are all below average? #Crab

On that level, I might agree with you tho. But my point is this, they created the category for them, giving them the opportunity to want to 'belong'. Then just do the right thing all d way.

Good morning!

He is just telling you the obvious. He is not desperate. He does not want to be involved as a second class human. They can keep their awards. After all, he attended the show just to prove that he has gone past the level of "I must belong".

Simply cos suicide(Hanging yourselves) is a norm in your penury-stricken family does make every man on the street an hanging specie.

You can go ahead and hang your worthless and useless self. We won't miss you cos you are a living dead....

Dat BET attitude towards Africa is uncalled for. Y the racist when we call ourselves black. It's either dey present d award in a normal way or Africa leave dem wit there racism. Dough am not his fan but i'm in support of dis

For once I agree with him...

Nigerian artistes learn self respect, Shabba Ranks has self respect that is why he said this when asked why he didn't agree to perform on stage for about 5 seconds with 5 other Jamaican artistes:

Interviewer: Recently there was this BET tribute, I heard that you were called?

Shabba Ranks: Yes, BET called me, they wanted me to be on their award show but I had prior engagements, but I asked them what is the criteria for me to be there and they're telling me that me and 5 persons have to be onstage. And I said to myself Shabba Ranks who get 2 grammys for dance hall music in America. It no take me and 5 other Jamaicans to present dance hall music in one format.

If Mariah Carey can get her own stage I should also get my own stage.

They never gave me the opportunity to walk their red carpet for years they just wanted to push me in a little corner and take me out when they feel like.

I am not for that. I am here to stand up so that dancehall is rated and respected as everyone's music is respected. It doesn't take 5 or 6 of us to show dancehall in one forum. Shabba Ranks alone could do it, Chaka Demus alone could do it. So when they wanted to get me in a crab in a barrel system I said: listen to me if you wont let me come alone or on the red carpet, then me nice. If you wont let me come out alone on stage, then me nice.

I want them to understand that I represent dance hall music which gave me life from the scum of Jamaica to make me the man that I am. I am ready to represent it with full force so long as they must recognise and respect that my music collect grammy, my music buy good clothes, my music is coming from a place that as much as them try fe hold we down we are good people. Cos they are not intellectuals like Marcus Garvey and none of them are fast like Usain Bolt and I know none of them are great like Shabba Ranks and none of them are bad boys like Bob Marley was. So we as Jamaicans haf fe stand up for our things in a strong way.

why are they giving him award at 10 am before the show

Make dem chop their award if they cant call him out proper...

I no be anybody slave oooo..
