It should be an insult by now to Africans in general that the Oscar academy cannot see beyond Angelique Kidjo in its awarding for Best Global Music. Is she the only one doing music in the whole of Africa? Or in the rest of the world?

Maybe an insult to the rest of the world (though I'd rather use the word "challenge" ). But I don't think it should be an insult to Africa that the global award keeps coming to continent. If anything, we're happy to, at least, have someone who can bring it home. cheesy

At the emboldened, Angelique Kidjo suspended her album for Burna Boy to win last year, after sending him into depression when he released the African Giant album.

Again, she deliberated delayed her album because she wanted Burna to win. If you listened to "Twice as Tall" track, you'd hear Burna rant about his Grammy sojourn and how it messed him up.

Nah every year the woman dey release Album?

I'm not a wizkid fan but the issue is with the pairing/nominations. Once the nominate you for the category wey this woman dey... just forget am. For the same category wey den nominate wizkid's essence, she appeared twice! She's just a living legend and her consistency is topnotch.

Nigerian afrobeats superstar, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has lost at the 64th Grammy Award in best World Music Album category.

The iconic singer, songwriter, and performer was nominated in two different categories at the 2022 Grammy Awards, being Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

The Grammy Awards is arguably the biggest night in the music industry every year, as the creme de la creme come together to reward the efforts of the best talents of the year in review. It was held today, March 3rd 2022, at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The event was previously scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on January 31, 2022, but it was postponed and moved to Las Vegas over concerns about the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Wizkid’s ‘Made in Lagos’ album lost to Angélique Kidjo’s “Mother Nature”. Nigeria’s Femi Kuti, and Made Kuti’s “Legacy” were also nominated in that category.

Let’s face it. There’s a certain type of African music that wins Grammies and it’s not Afro-pop. Look at the list of previous African winners. You hardly find any pop artiste among them. It’s the stereotypical African “jungle” sound they like. They already have enough pop artistes in America.

Once again, my fellow Nigerians have started fighting one another online over artistes who don't even know or care or give a fuq, about their existence.

Isn't it saddening, that the most critical thing affecting these fellows is to argue and cuss out one another, over something they will most likely never win or touch or even possess?

Yet they fight on this, politics, tribalism, religion, race and everything else except how exactly they can contribute their quota to make the country and by extension, their own existence better!!!

I just don't understand that concept of reasoning. It's mind-blowing.

How I wish Thanos was real!!

The genre are basically their focus. Nigerian musicians are good but their music doesn't have pure genre, most are mixed up.

Oh... damn! Wizkid's album deserved this. cry

Angelique is a force of nature. Her coverage both in terms of time and space is wider than that of Wizkid. So even when Wizkid's album is better, her larger audience would always be in her favour. I knew she was threat but really hoped Wizkid would bring this one home to earn me some bragging rights.

Congratulations to her. We try again next year.

Wizkid tried... But nope! Kidjo deserved this!

No need for bias... Wizkid is still a kid musically where that woman is!
