Nigerians should ordinarily be hosting the biggest music awards!

Exactly 💯

Very funny. This one is just a poster boy for the very folks pulling the strings in the background. We all know how this works. If you’re not linked one way or the other to the very large groups that own a piece of everything in multiple industries or the so called globalists, good luck to you. Whether it’s the grammy’s, oscars, emmy’s, golden globe etc, the big guys call the shots and use it as a marketing tool to make more money. For instance, in music, universal music and sony music either have direct or indirect ownership in all the biggest record labels in the world. Check out who owns Tyla’s record label…yup, you guessed right, it’s Sony Music. For me, Davido should not even bother himself about these awards; he does not need their validation. As long as he keeps churning out good music and maintains or grows his very large fanbase, that’s really all that matters. It is the attendance at concerts and volume of streams that would tell him how good his music is; not some political or mafioso garbage from a controlled academy of voters.

For the award to be seen as fair, the Grammy’s should introduce a score card system where the nominated songs or album are graded per certain criteria e.g. instrumentals, lyrics, voice etc. That way there’s no ambiguity about winners.

If the winners are decided by the judges liking you then the judges bias can creep in and it’s no longer about the song but the person. I’m sure the controversy every year helps grow their popularity.

This means the award can be bought at the right price.

Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z and Beyonce must have a lot of fans among the voters then. Silly voting process.

He is saying you must first belong to the cult to win!

There is something not right about best African music award being awarded by Americans


Would they accept the reverse?

Wtf cares about the Grammys

the greatest lyricist/rapper/ MC of all time, Nas got his first grammy win from 17 nominations, after 25 years

lol... NAS is not lyricist/rapper of all time, that is Eminem. He's the rap god himself. No go talk this kind thing outside.

No one cares

That's what happens when you desperately seek oyinbo validation so bad.theyll always remind you you're a 2nd class citizen and they don't want you among them.why tojepe eyin Nigerian musicians emoju, emora.must you go where you won't be appreciated or valued? If someone is continuously using body language and subtle ways to tell you,you're not in America, shey your brain antenna suppose don tell you they want only theirs. Moreover is there any crime having your own nigerian Grammy? BET sef dey try but Grammy it's clear they don't want you

For me, DAVIDO should stop attending.
He is not needed and that's obvious.
..and that includes others.
We can't sing like them and they can't sing like us. In fact, what's so special about their music which I hear everyday.
Some lyrics are just about sleeping with women.
Africa should adore its award. I just streamed TyLa's music and none comes close to "RUSH" by Ayra. They detest our mixed language

davillian:
probably because of the violent nature of thier songs...

You're crazy for saying that. Most of their songs especially Biggie's category of music doesn't consist of violent lyrics, they were normal rappers just like Dr Dre and not gang members!!

gbam!!!

I don't know why these nigerian musicians cannot see the handwriting on the wall.in Hollywood isn't it obvious that it's not just by hardwork or talent

Una no dey watch documentary or listen to the interviews of these rap stars?

No wonder artist on Jay z/diddy record label wins Grammy easily.

R Kelly....no Grammy
Akon.......no Grammy

R. Kelly
Kelly has received and been nominated for multiple awards, as a songwriter, producer, and singer. He won three Grammy Awards for his song "I Believe I Can Fly": Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, Best Rhythm and Blues Song, and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television.[

Most of our A list artist are not really creatives. How will an artists as big as the big 3 not be able to play any imusical instrument or write any decent song apart from their ponpon beat and big neck lace. Thank God Grammy is not for sale, Davido dad for don buy like 17 for am

kolafolabi:
This clarification from Harvey Mason Jr. is important for public understanding. Too often, fans assume that Grammy wins are based on popularity, streaming numbers, or sales, but the truth is that it’s a peer-driven process, decided by music professionals who evaluate artistic merit, creativity, and technical excellence.

The love we have for Davido does not automatically mean he deserves the award; admiration and fan support are different from the criteria used by the Recording Academy. Winning a Grammy requires recognition from fellow artists and industry experts, not just fan enthusiasm or commercial success

Abegyyy... There are many artist who have ticked all these boxes and never still won it.. It's politics

Grammy is crap

No wonder Jay Z and Beyonce even their daughter wins Grammy even without doing anything 🥱

APOPTOSIS:
Simple and Simple.
It's an American Award and for those who sing like them. And they should stop distorting Africa with it. We are enjoying Diamond Platinumz, Davido and Kofi Olamide the way they are.

No wonder some unknown girl from SA wins every year

Nigerians are too emotional.

We got outrightly flawed in that category and they still giving the cheating excuses.

Is it water or push 2 Start? Which one could Davido claim to deserve in both instances?

Let’s remove emotions and be factual. No way Davido could win. Absolutely no way!

Did you say same when Burna and Tems won it?

You lots are too emotional.

You cook up stories when you lose and applaud when you win.

Wait!

Who can match Kendrick in the rap category? Look at what you saying? Who comes close to Kendrick? J Cole?

You also mentioned Beyonce! Dude you don’t know music.

You mean this two 2:37min average song na wetin win Grammy for this babe. Like I am not even saying Davido is worthy of winning this but I can personally give a run down of a hundred songs like this that beats this song pants down even by same South African artists. Abeg make this Grammy people shift go one side abeg. It's Either people have poor taste for music these days or the academy is this one whack hype.

Only fools look for validations in these rubbish.

Nigerian artists should stop going

And who are the "music experts"? How many albums have they dropped themselves? Just admit it's a clan that makes that decision. Someone has to be a part of the clan in one way or the other, else their hard work will never be recognized by the clan.

blowjohn:

Mention the artiste Nas competed with in that category and tell which did not deserve it.

Those years were very competitive more like today. Don’t make it look like Nas was cheated.

Hit’em up is the greatest diss track that gained world recognition and set a standard for diss tracks, yet did not even pick a bowl talkless of Grammy.

Mention people Nas competed with so we know if they were quacks.

Ballon'd'or and Grammy award remains useless awards forever. Nobody care about rubbish ceremony anymore
