So, how come you put Davido last when he is the FIRST to crack American market with this new Nigerian sound (that has combination of pidgin and even vernacular)

Ghanaians and inferiority complex mixed with jealousy are never far from each other, like a crocodile and the water.Their music is a bunch of trashy stuff, and the movies are worse, very nauseating.

It's in no particular order. Sade Ade, Ibadan born cracked the American market long before Davido was born.

Always COMPARING…

And trying to PLAY DOWN the success of Nigerians.

Inferiority complex!

Very apt of you. I think say na only me dey feel that way. If na football, them go say they are better, now its music and still beefing Nigerians that they are better than us and that we are just loud. You cant just be loud for nothing, it wont be sustainable.

Yet no single Igbo was nominated for Grammy this year, they are all Yoruba except for Burna

Nigerians have bought the American market, that is why they are getting more than 5 nominations - Ghanaian music executive claims


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejBKMayFVkY

During the interview on Hitz FM, the music executive claimed that some Ghanaian singers are better than their Nigerian counterparts, but are less visible because Nigerians are loud.

He also stated that Ghanaian singer, Stonebwoy did everything possible to get a spot in the Grammy nomination list but couldn’t because Nigerians are more visible and have bought out the American market which he claims is controlled by money.

I said the NEW Nigerian sound. Fall is the first such song to become wildly popular over there.
Also, Sade was not a Nigerian musician in the sense Davido is. She left Nigeria for good at age four!

@Raskimonojendor

Can you read my original post again. I updated it with more info on Benson Idonije, Bose Ogulu's biological father.

Whose grandmother are you referring to here as being Yoruba?

Do you think he was talking about crimes which is the identity of ibos?

Why can’t this people stop complaining and work hard on they music 🎶?

Did Nigerians artists also paid to sell out O2 arena?

It’s hard work 😓.

The guy just dey cruise. E know say every music star for Naija na Yoruba. The few wey no be Yoruba are upcoming and they must infuse Yoruba in their lyrics to blow.

Yes and If not why is ebunoluwa in his name?

Davido shouldn't even be there. He only has a nomination and it's not a win, yet.
People like Sikiru Adepoju who used talking drums to win 4 Grammys should be there, not Davido with only a nomination.

Smackdown!

Yorubas of Nigerian descent in the global entertainment industry have been very stellar... winning the Grammy Awards multiple times since Folasade Adu (whose Professor of Economics father is from Ikere-Ekiti) won it in grand style in 1986. SEAL, Chamilionaire and others then followed.

Swiftgrp:

Her iconic biological father (Benson Idonije) is originally from Agenebode in Edo State. He was Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's music producer so the whole family grew up and lived in Lagos State (or Yorubaland) so they speak fluent Yoruba as well. Raymond Dokpesi also hailed from Agenebode, in Edo but was born in Ibadan and so was very fluent in Yoruba with a Russian wife and two Ijebu wives.

Ebunoluwa na edo name abi Bose? Ogulu na edo name too? Asking because I don't know

ukaface:

Burna na yoruba?

mixed

Thinktwicemybro:
Ghanaian sings with their language that's why they don't make it that far in music. Use English

music has no language bro. Music itself is a universal language. Asake sing majorly in Yoruba yet he is recognised globally.

My friend, I said the NEW Nigerian sound that has done what Nigerian music has NEVER done before - enter American mainstream and played constantly on their radio. Fall is the first such song to become wildly popular over there.

It's the population power.
Sorry we will always have more talents than Ghana.

Sade and Seal are not really Nigerians in the sense Davido is, neither did they play music in any way Nigerian.
They both grew up in UK. Seal was born in London

Ah, I get it now from the screenshot you attached... Burna Boy's maternal grandmother is a Yoruba woman.

There was a discussion here on NL on the history of Rivers State ethnicities indicating that Burna Boy's father's ancestral folks come from the relatively small Engenni ethnicity in Ahoada West (domiciled close to the Ijaws) that is of Edo origin or migration from a few centuries back.

Dbull on this one!


How many people remember the 2000s when Ghana music was dominating?

Days of Reggie Rockstone, kk fosu, VIP , FBS, Tinny, et al


And to think I was an upcoming artist then and now I still be upcoming omooo

If Davido more popular than Fela?
Fela did what he did without streaming and all. Without featuring American artistes.
Davido has not done anything special. Nothing.

Yes. Seriki Adepoju with 4 Grammys is also not really Nigerian. His talking drum is not really Nigerian.
Ebunoluwa Ogulu is not really Nigerian.
Abeg, rest with this Davido you're pushing. He's the least of them all.

This is pure envy!
If you claim that Burna boy and others got the nominations because they are more visible and loud, let your own people go and be loud and visible as well.

Yorubas form majority of Nigeria's biggest music talents. The rest who aren't Yoruba either live in a Yoruba state or under a label owned and controlled by a Yoruba.

They should rather collaborate with their Nigerian brothers and sisters.
