On Tuesday, November 24, 2021, we were all glued to our phones when the Grammys announced Wizkid’s nomination for Best Global Music Performance, with other African musicians including Femi Kuti, Burna Boy, Terms and Angelique Kidjo.
To the glory of God, in less than 60 seconds, their album Made In Lagos was nominated for Best Global Music Album at the 64th Grammy Awards.
The Recording Academy pitted him against Legacy + Femi and Made Kuti, Angelique Kidjo’s Mother Nature and Rocky Dawumi’s Voice of Bunbon Volume I.
Many fans and other celebrities from the entertainment industry congratulated the Nigerian superstar, while others criticized Angelique Kidjo, claiming that she could be a nuisance.
The 64th GRAMMY Awards took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3.
To the surprise of many, Wizkid’s highly rated album “Made In Lagos” lost out to Angelique Kidjo’s “Mother Nature”.
What should have been a boon for the African music industry has now generated hate and envy on social media.
Afrobeat music fans took to social media and insulted Angelique Kidjo, accusing her of bribing the Grammys to get the award.
The 61-year-old singer blocked the comments section on Instagram. Despite this, she took the old position from her and continued to insult her.
The question is;
Why Angelique Kidjo Keeps Winning Grammy Awards
According to a Twitter user letter to jack Angelique Kidjo released an album where the title track talked about the dangers of climate change disasters (which worry the West) and how they will affect Africa the most.
It’s a big hat. Angelique Kidjo did not win Best Global Music Album at the Grammys for singing about climate change.
There are millions of people in the world who sing beautiful songs about the country.
A Grammy is like any other award; Just as Nigerians boycotted the Headies because of corruption, many American celebrities are boycotting the Grammys.
To me, I think Grammy means “who do you know.” Who’s your clique? Who are you hooking up with?
Because?
Because Deborah Dugan, the first female president and CEO of the Recording Academy, which awards the Grammy Awards, said on Good Morning America in January that the awards are rigged. Watch the video here.
