One thing I like about Yorubas is that they're always proud to associate with their roots, especially the successful ones. Remove Yoruba from Nigeria and 90% of "Nigerian" culture that the world knows is dead.

Otedola and Adenuga are from Ogun State. Ogun State indigenes are just super blessed likewise Oyo too ( I still consider Osun as Oyo since they've the same culture and almost same ascent )

Check this out. They were born in Ibadan, Oyo

Bearing Igbo name doesn't matter if the individual doesn't recognize with his tribe plus baba didn't get Grammy because he was singing or rapping in Igbo, if you even see him music you go shame. The boy was raised purely by his African American mother and it even states that he never met his father.....e be like sey na even product of ashawo tdb. Everything dey him wiki page Sha. You fit even go try speak Igbo to am make the akata boy call you nigger....

E-cretin, I had to correct your delusions!

Tyler the creator won the best rap song for 2021, thereby making him a two time winner of the prestigious award!

Dingbat!

The point here IS please SHOW us a single video of Tyler[mother is african american and he has never met his dad] talking about ANYTHING about igbo or Nigeria?? The FACT is that Yorubas[Israel adesanya,anthony joshua,Wale,Giannis adetokunbo etc] in the diaspora ALWAYS talk PROUDLY about their heritage. I watched a video of igbo diasporean organization youths complaining about HOW most of their Yoruba counterparts have a good understanding of Yoruba and how they proudly CLING to their culture.

The bolded names belong those who are not even Yoruba in name. The so-called Giannis got his name twisted into Greek to shade anything Nigeria or Yoruba from it. Anthony Joshua could have been anybody but Nigerian.

Yoruba ppl are really excelling in music internationally. A whole continent and 90% of the nominees are from one tribe
Shout out to Wizkid, Burna, Davido, Angelique.

Other African artist were complaining and Joking about why it's only Angelique that gets all the awards

ITS BECAUSE SHE SINGS MEANINGFUL SONGS THAT ARE OF QUALITY AND CONTENT. Meanwhile all una Sabi no pass big ass,big breasts etc.step up your contents,lyrics and let your music have substance then you will get the grammies but it seems you guys are happy with mediocrity

And yemi Alade want to copy her so she can win Grammy too, she don't know that it not easy, Angelique kidjo is a legend and her songs is strong influence on Africa .....look at the African costume, the kinda lyrics and bla bla bla,

Mama kidjo is great ....since when I was young I do listen to her...her music is spectacular ..


Thanks to Burna Boy that quickly switch to African style and won Grammy award.


If you don't sing African song not all this Nigerian song that are lyrics are not reality ...
