Wizkid was really dreaming of winning Grammy with the rubbish songs he has been dropping?

Say all you want, 99% of Nigerian musicians sing bullshît. Content 0, beats 0, uniqueness 0.

All they know is making noise about big yansh, love and fine girl. Wizkid will be yapping "she tell me say" in all his songs and expect to win Grammy.

This is what worldly music is made up of. Now, to those ignorant ones "what is mother nature?." Those who had gone to underworld and came back alive can relate. The Force is everywhere but, there are some African countries that has a stronger force than the ones in Nigeria, you can work with such people in terms of music and blow.. Let me stop here! @papiwater

With all the wack message less lyrics this guy's churn out to us, wr u thinking they could hav an upper hand against kidjo?

The Americans that win it, how many of them have good lyrics? Is it not about the same boy and girl, sex, money and sometimes weed?
When it comes to Africa they will make you believe it’s by gooooooood lyrics and maturity. Oga Grammy dey only up their criteria when it comes to Africans don’t be deceived.

Congrats to the legend on the win but this take doesn't make sense.

Many American songs that win the Grammy all sing trash but na Africans go sing about climate change and relevant shit that affects us all before we win? That's discriminatory bs.

What of Fela that was singing conscious music and even got flogged and brutalised for it, how many Grammy him win? Mtcheew

Every nominee is a winner but someone has to go home with it. The fact that wizkid didn't win it doesn't mean he was cheated. If you go by the quality of the album, I can confidently tell you kidjo would win above wizkid even without listening to the album cos of the kind of songs they both do and the message they pass. You don't expect someone of kidjo's age and experience in the industry to be recording rubbish songs.

This Yemi Alade no get sense; every nominee on that category is a potential winner so why is she trying to invalidate the quality of work done by other nominees?

Nigerian Afropop singer, Yemi Alade has taken to the microblogging platform to reveal why Beninese legendary singer, Angelique Kidjo’ s “Mother Nature” album won Best Global Music Album at the 64th Grammy Awards ceremony.

Naija News understands that Angelique Kidjo defeated four Nigerian artistes namely Wizkid with his Made In Lagos Deluxe album, Femi and Made Kuti with Legacy + album including Burnaboy, all nominated in the same category.

Yemi Alade, who is now a Grammy winner as a result of her collaboration with Angelique, said Kidjo’s Mother Nature album deserved to win the Best Global Music Album award at the 64th Grammy Awards ceremony.

The singer made this known by retweeting a post on Twitter by @PapiWater, explaining that “ Mother Nature” celebrated Africans’ uniqueness and victims of the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria and climate change.

The post read, “Angelique Kidjo dropped an album in which the headline song talked about the dangers of climate change-induced disasters (that the West is worried about) and how it will impact Africa more but you are wondering why she won a Grammy for that body of work.

“Stop playing. Please take your time to listen to the album. Listen to Africa, One of a Kind and Mother Nature. Drop your Pangolo expectations before you listen to them so you can enjoy good music”


https://www./2022/04/04/yemi-alade-reveals-why-angelique-kidjo-defeated-wizkid-at-the-64th-grammys/


“Stop playing. Please take your time to listen to the album. Listen to Africa, One of a Kind and Mother Nature. Drop your Pangolo expectations before you listen to them so you can enjoy good music”

This is where she said it all, people barely listen to music these days, now it's just about who is more stupid and who makes the most noise, if not the dead of creativity in music in Nigeria, who would be listening or dancing to the noise by that guy called Portable or Naira marley and some other noise makers.

These societies celebrate their own jor and are partial. Give awards based on what the people feel and that shd be via downloads/streams not what some group of elite individuals think it shd be..
