Why Wizkid Shouldn't Be Addressed As A Grammy Award Winning Artist by meekparagon(m): 8:25am On Mar 21, 2021
If you wants to make him ginger, give him a Grammy Award winning king lol

Wondering how Wizkid received the sound from the traditional Afrobeats with its sassy, ​​silky sound, we could not get enough out of it. Wizkid is a Nigerian artist who has settled naturally around the world and locally. I mean, how many Nigerian Afrobeats artists are enjoying our starboys internationally recognized internationally.



Wizkid could not be put into a musical style as an artist, this guy flows fast from afrobeats to reggae, hip-hop, dance hall and rap. We have seen newcomers in the music industry trying to style Wizkid's unique voice and style in a stylish way, we can not say that Wizkid's voice was successful because it is still different.

Nigerians have been nominated in various categories at the Burnboy and Wizkid Grammy Awards at home and abroad. When news of Burna's victory was announced, Twitter Street was literally on fire. But even before the Barna news broke on the internet, Starboy started shining on social media. News and tweets are flying around that Beyonce has won the Starboy Grammy Award for her feature in the Brown Skin Girl music video.

Hate to break your bubble, but Wizkid did not win a Grammy Award and therefore cannot be called a 'Grammy Award Winning Artist'. Keypad fighters / journalists should therefore reject claims that he was the first artist to leave the Nigeria to win a Grammy Award. Calm down, calm down. He only received Grammy recognition for his performance in Beyonce Browns Girl, which won the award for Best Music Video this year. According to Grammy rules, the Golden Gramophone is the lead artist and creator of video. While Break It Beyonce The Lion King. Wizkid received his own Golden Gramophone rather than a Grammy Certificate. The Grammy Rules also state that "Painted artists are eligible for a Grammy on the Album of the Year if they perform more than 33% of the album's play time; if they perform more than 51% of the play time, they are eligible for the genre album categories; .

Surprisingly, this is Wizkid's second attempt to win his own Golden Gramophone. In 2017, Drake's The View album was nominated for the 58th Grammy Awards Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. Wizkid starred in Drake's hit song One Dance, co - written and co - produced by Wizkid with Kayla. So if the album had won the 58th Grammy Awards in 2017, Vizzy would have been a Grammy Award winner long before Burn Boy.

Wizkid is not the only Nigerian artist close to winning a Grammy Award. King Sunny Eddie was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1984-1999. From 2003–2014, Femi Kuti received nominations for a number of albums, including Fight to Win, Africa for Africa, Day by Day. In 2018, Seun Kuti was nominated for a Black Times album. In 2021, Tiva Savage, Femi Kuti and Made Kuti were close to getting Grammy recognition for their work on COLDPLAY's album.

He may not win a Grammy Award, but he has won many awards over the years. He won the Soul Train Award for his performance in Beyonce Brown Skin Girl with Blue Ivy and St. JHN. He has won three Billboard Music Awards for his contribution to Drake's "One Dance". Wiskid was the first Nigerian (if not African) recipient of an international award from the American Society of Composers, Writers and Publishers (ASCAP) for his role in writing "The Dance". Wizkid was the first Afro-pop artist to appear in the Guinness Book of World Records. It's related to his songwriting credits for 'One Dance', which holds the Guinness World Record for most songs played on Spotify with 1 billion streams. He was the first African to sell the Royal Albert Hall, London's most famous venue, within 72 hours. Wizkid won the 2020 Music of Black Origin Awards (MOBO) for Best African Law. This is Wizkid's fourth Mobo victory. He has won the Mobo "Best African Acts" and "Best International Acts" awards at different times.

All of these are "some" of his international awards, and if we dig into his local / Nigerian success, you will literally receive a Grammy Award for Whiskey. If there is an artist, we are positive that if we are sure that he will be able to attract the judges in the recording academy with his talent for the Grammy Award, it will be Whiskey. Not in his particularly delicate voice, Wizkid proved to music lovers that he deserved to be the receiver for the next Grammy Awards. He pushed for his Bosley Award-winning album "Twice as Toll" as did Sound burna Boy in Fella and Sunday Ade. While his soft and comforting album "Made in Lagos" may not have won in the Best Global Music Album category, it's good. We will not care about it until the Grammys give it the Album of the Year award. Hilarious laughter

To cut the long story short, Wizkid cannot be addressed as a Grammy Award-winning artist right now because he does not have a customized Grammy plaque like Burna Boy. Depending on the Grammys, there are still hopes to further enhance our Starboys and our new effective project, Made in Lagos or other upcoming projects that have real Grammy panels at home.
