Nigeria’s Afrobeats singer, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid has congratulated veteran singer, Angelique Kidjo and Disk Jockey, Black Coffee for their wins at the 2022 Grammy awards.

Wizkid wrote on his Instagram stories on Tuesday, “Love to my brother, a true King, @realblackcoffee and Queen @angeliqueKidjo for consistently shining light on the continent. African music rising.”

Kidjo’s Mother Nature bagged the award for the Best Global Music Album on Sunday, while Black Coffee’s Subconsciously won the Best Dance/Electronic Album.

While Wizkid’s Made In Lagos and hit song, Essence were nominated for the Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance, respectively, they both did not win in their categories.

Big Wiz’s congratulatory message was coming amid attacks by his fans on Kidjo, who felt his album was more deserving of the award.


Echoing popular sentiments, British model, Naomi Campbell also criticized the Grammys for being “tone-deaf on what is going in the universe.” According to her, Wizkid’s album and song were wrongly categorised and should have been in the song of the year category.

Seen Nice one big wizz

ahbi! finally the people that have been crying that he didn't congratulate her can look for another thing to cry about.

Stinking Shirt.. No Level

Nice one wizkid, that's how it supposed to be

On Friday, April 1 2022, Davido's FIFA World Cup theme song debuted and he even did a historic performance at World Cup matches Draw event. Naturally, Davido's fanbase erupted in chest-beating and celebration. Good PR for Nigeria!

Unfortunately, most old, contemporary and emerging artistes were too STUNNED by Davido's unprecedented milestone that they shied away from recognizing and congratulating him for the remarkable win. Davido was sadened by this negative attitude by colleagues in the industry. Green envy at display!

On their part, Wikzid fans trashed both the song and the historic performance and told the world to wait till Grammy awards on Sunday April 3, for the real deal. Toxic rivalry at display!

Sunday came, real deal became raw deal and it was the turn of Davido's fans to have a field day. Toxic rivalry payback!

Meanwhile, Wizkid's fan, in reaction, started attacking Angelique Kidjo for 'not allowing' Wizkid to win the Grammy award. There was no word from Wizkid. Bad energy at display!

Three days later, Wizkid finally congratulated Angelique Kidjo for winning. Good move but why the delay!

Wizkid didn't go home with any Grammy?


Must have been very painful....


Btw, I don't like that woman's music and I don't know how those whack people gets to award her every year.... When we have good Nigerian music's to clear your dancing moves ...

Congratulations are in order.

Meanwhile, Wizkid remains the GOAT.
Those spewing trash that Wiz cannot congratulate Angelique or those saying Wiz has pride issues should go and hug the nearest transformer.

Wiz has paid his dues and he keeps progressing and improving steadily.

Let's preach More Love, Less Ego.

FC to the world.

This wizzy na OG abeg.

Reminds Me Of When Davido Fans And Family Members Tagged The Same Grammy Nominated Album Trash. Ensured That Trended Along Side The Album, Called it funeral music, sex playlist, Wack, Rain. & Attacked Anyone Who Had A Contrary Opinion.

Few Months Later The Album Hit Record Breaking Strides. Guess What Davido Fans Did? They Tagged It's Trajectory As PR, Payola, Overhyped, They Said The Likes Of Rihanna, Fat Joe, Snoop Dogg, Winnie Harlow, Swaeetie, Kelvin Hart, Kylie Jenner That Were Vibing To The Album Were All PAID. One Popular Davido Fan Swore On Twtter That If Essense Debuted On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart He Should Die!!!

While All This Was Happening Davido Was Silent. #Tule #Echoke.

But the Industry was watching, the media was watching. The OG's, Contemporary & New Artists Were Watching.
