I'm happy Burna Boy Lost




Burna is a fellow Rivers Man but you'll never see him come out straight to boast or be proud of his state of origin


He will never win a Grammy

So you want him to leave Lagos for Rivers to do militant job, oil theft and shouting our oil

Iamgrey5:
I don't have your time

When you have time get it from the horses mouth instead of copying and pasting from wiki. Of course her father identify as Fon because his family had settled among the Fons for a very long time. But their lineage is Iseyin Oyo state. There blood is 100% Nigerian (Its no different from Emmanuel Adebayor. Who will tell you I am a Togolese but my family originates from Nigeria). And on her mother side from Abeokuta not Benin. She (Angelique Kidjo) still visits her aunties in Ogun state.

This is not me saying it. This is Angelique Kidjo herself. Don't argue with me.

E go shock u

NwaAmaikpe:




A well deserved win to Kidjo.
The content of her songs are out of this world. She is a mix of Maya Angelou and Miriam Makeba.

Music lovers and genuine content critics like myself would have given up on the credibility and essence of the Grammy Awards if another undeserving artiste had won this.

Sentiments aside, Nigeria is yet to replicate another Fela Kuti in the global music sphere.

Fela is the only Nigerian deserving of a Grammy.
Because music is not about dancesteps or groupie trends but about a movement, a message, reawakening a consciousness and yet the melody from real musical instruments.
This is a reality lost on today's Nigerian artistes aside from Asá who still lacks in consistency.

As an African act, till your music can be accepted by Pastors, Imams, Youths, elders, global leaders, United Nations and illiterates, then you stand a chance of being an African Album or winning a foreign award in Music.

Nigeria and Nigerians must understand that club bangers do not translate to foreign awards in global music.

drake has a 4 fucking grammys n i dont even like any of his songs

Ishilove:

I am neither. I'm just someone who knows and appreciates good music.

Not acknowledging that Burna is talented will just be bad belle. He has done very well for himself and I hope he continues this run with consistency, but the fact is he has his betters and not acknowledging this fact is delusional.

I think you have said it all.

Afrocandym:



Okay share his best song with me here, because all his song I have listened are just rubbish, even those noisy Yoruba fuji songs sound better than Fela songs

I see your issue here is tribe. Sorry I can't help you. If tribalism is your issue then you need help.

jneutron4000:
You no know say Angelique kidjo na Yoruba extract too. We would not give her the middle finger Never

Don't mind the kid. Of what basis is the middle finger?

Very soon you will be seeing comments like , why is Flavour not nominated for the rap category?

Afrocandym:


I'm not indomie generation,
Fela was not good at music.

We don kukuma adopt am before. His middle name is Yoruba. Ebunoluwa.

The truth is Burna Boy is a Lagos boy who spent his teen years in London. Then came back to Lagos to pursue music. You don’t expect him to have port harcourt lingo.

As expected. Burna should warm up to her and learn from her. He has a lot to gain.

Her father is Yoruba but they gave her fon names, at least Adebayor has Yoruba names

Her mother is from Abeokuta but she sings in the Yoruba dialect of Port Novo/Keotu.

I just rushed to listen to " we are one" by kidjo ..............the difference is clear, it's like insult for burna competing with her chai............mummy pls retire our burna is coming next year, don't come and be wasting our one in a million chance.

Do Hausa people play fuji song?

I'm saying the noisy Yoruba fuji songs sound better than Fela's songs.

I can confirm the Yorubas are good at Hip-hop music, it's that also tribalism?

Nna Fela and his songs are rubbish.
The only thing I like him for is standing against politicians

2Face, Dbanj, Wizkid, Davido and other Nigerian artists will be very happy he isn't the first Nigerian to win it...don't look at me like that, it's just the truth...forget that they will go public to be sympathetic (na lie e no reach their Belle)

Hypocrisy is part of our DNA... Aren't we Nigerians just mysterious?

toogbasky:
like the way Cardi B has been passing global message abi,,, she has a grammy,,, Nigerians can bring each other down for Africa

If u expect they will judge American rapper with African, U still have a lot to learn about the global stage

U are mad, stop saying rubbish. ... migos wey don win grammy award wetin dem dey sing?
I am asking you now... between burna boy kind of music and migos kind of music which do you prefer....
My brother burna boy for win that award if say him be from yankee and he dey popular for there.
Check your list of people that have won the award, some of them sing's total rubbish but you will see them still winning the award.

We African, especially Nigerian like to dey winch our own

Mister man listen to her yourself. Stop arguing with me. I will not do your homework for you. The video is there for you to watch.


As per your second query. What kind of Yoruba do they speak in Benin? If you live among the Benin Yorubas of course you will grow up to speak that Yoruba. Just as if an Ijebu was born/ grew up in Lagos you speak Lagos Yoruba not Ijebu Yoruba what is hard to understand.

Please don't quote me again until you watch just a few minutes of that video (starting from minute 3).

He identify with his mum's people..........since he grew up amongst the Yoruba's, even the grandfather played with fela band all through........ So they didn't actually have much to do with PH from the beginning.

DSoj:

I don’t have a problem with them,,, it is you criticizing Nigeria musicians for lack of content, and pass them unfit for global recognition,, i expect you to judge Africa musicians wit their counterparts in America

Even Tyler the creator is a Nigeria and he won a grammy today.

Help me tell them oo,, we too get bad belle for this country

Sanchez01:

This is wrong. Beyoncé, Eminem, MJ's 'Thriller', Taylor Swift's '1989', and even Jay Z have all won the Grammy Album of the year award.

Most of the songs on their albums are club bangers, and widely accepted by younger generations. I can't imagine any of Jay Z's, and Eminem songs that will will be accepted by religious leaders.

Most educated folks don't even understand Eminem's raps because he is always dissing the world and lacing his materials with double and triple entendres.

The category is much more beyond acceptability and the class or category of people your album resonate with. Kidjo will still return and win another next year as always.

Those people do good music and they pass messages. They are known by all bcs of most of them Critics. As an Africa, you need just more than club banging songs for the world to accept you and that’s why burna was accepted when he switch to claim Afro beat which was fela way but none is like fela to me yet

I love how she dedicated it to Burna Boy

Thaheer:
Nigeria just lost a clear shot at the Grammies,
It sure can't get any closer than this..

The people dt could win grammy in naija are all these apala musicians. Live sweet music. It’s instrumentalists dt have bn nominated in the past: sunny ade and kutis sons.
If someone like terry apala or slimcase sings meaningful lyrics & gets international marketing, dem fit win am.

I have given you my advice already. You no sabi music. Go and learn music then we can talk. Until then talk another thing.

Burna boy fans right now

Correction- Jay Z, Beyonce and Eminem has never won Grammy in the Album of the year category

GreetMe:

My fellow Burnabarians, my mouth aff closed
