Lol

Good luck to them

Undoubtedly Olamide is our hottest hip hop artiste but he is conspicuously absent from this list because of his decision to mostly express his amazing talent in his mother tongue. The average guy from Benue state or Cross river can only appreciate 1 or 2 songs on his album making it hard for him to receive international acclaim like his contemporaries wizkid or davido... Before my brothers from the SW starts attacking me, you must remember that the great Fela was a Yoruba man o, but he mostly sang in pidgin that every Nigerian can relate to.... If olamide continue like this Rekado Banks go win BET before am

Where is vector?






Oh, it's a song title.

Not bad

But why must we always find ways to make ourselves look like victims?

Does Diamond Platnumz not sing in Swahili? Was he not nominated?
Casper nyovest raps in his language, was he not nominated?

Sarkodie raps in his language and has previously been nominated several times...

Angelique Kidjo sings in her language which is similar to Yoruba and she has won Grammys more than 2 times if am correct... pls stop making yourself a victim and thinking everybody is out to get you.

BET *(Black Entertainment Television) was founded by a couple who know what racism and discrimination is and want to celebrate black people... as long as u are popping in the whole of Africa, they don't care what u speak

Olamide is more concerned abt pushing his craft and making his cash in Nigeria, he's yet to wrk outta naija and Africa as a whole
