The 65th annual Grammy Awards will feature five new Grammy categories, including Songwriting and a special award for Best Song for Social Change.
Organizers announced on September 26 that musicians from around the world can now submit their songs for consideration as nominees for the Best Song for Social Change category.
According to the Grammys, songs in this category must highlight a current social issue, address an issue that has an impact on a group of people in need, and promote understanding, awareness, and empathy.
The Recording Academy Board of Directors will approve the winner’s selection after acceptance by the committee.
As a result, the 30BG family, Davido’s fan base, also known as the 30 Billion Gangs, joined forces on social media to promote FEM by Davido. They argued that the song deserved to win the Grammy for Best Song for Social Change.
As Davido once said, God bless the Grammys, if you collect Headies, collect them.
To be really honest with 30BG, one of the biggest fandoms in Africa, Davido’s WEF can’t be nominated for best song for social change.
You want to know why? Because the song is a maverick song and the fact that it does not meet the eligibility requirements listed on the Grammy website.
Despite this, numerous diss tracks have previously been nominated for Grammy Awards, including Drake’s diss track “Back to Back” directed at MMG’s Meek Mill.
Unlike the other categories, however, this category is best for promoting social change.
If you’re wondering who Davido is cursing, the song was an attack on Burna Boy and it’s all over the internet.
Reasons why the Grammys cannot nominate FEM Davido
- The award recognizes a song that has had a significant social impact and effect. This is one of the requirements for the Grammy for Best Song for Social Change.
- A song’s lyrics must highlight a current social issue, examine an issue that affects a group of people in need, and foster awareness, increased awareness, and empathy to be considered for nomination.
- The song’s lyrical content, quality of artistic composition, and perceived effectiveness in conveying the message of empowerment and awareness of global social issues are all considered.
- The criteria for selecting the best song for social change will be based on the idea that social good is “an act that will result in benefit available to the general public”, including songs that recognize the fundamental humanity of all individuals.
The prize will be delivered with a song that advocates:
- Understanding: Teaches, promotes tolerance and/or increases awareness of the experiences of others.
- Peacebuilding: Measures aimed at achieving or maintaining harmony or a state of discord-freedom.
- Empathy: The ability to sympathize and understand other people’s emotions.
- Being Positive: A positive, uplifting, or constructive characteristic or trait.
Grammy organizers said songs that promote violence or terrorism or contain hate speech, on the other hand, will be disqualified.
Therefore, FEM advises you not to bother submitting music or to consider being considered for the Best Songs for Social Change category.
Now let’s break down the lyrics of David’s FEM song.
“Why 30BG we go for, for, forThey go like money to you”
From these words in the chorus, it is clear that Davido is expressing the feelings of gang members who are ready to escalate their anger.
That alone disqualified the song from being nominated for Best Song for Social Change at the Grammys.
“Before, before things get seriousBefore it all gets dangerousYou have to be careful not to say too muchCause if you say too much, chances are I’ll run into youYou see, I have fans who are for it.You see me in G pass G-Wagon”
Davido bragged and gave a gentle warning to the song’s target, who many believe to be Burna Boy, in the song’s second verse.
That’s another reason why the song can’t be nominated for a Grammy for Best Song for Social Change.
Maybe you should go listen to peaceful, non-violent music, like Ty Bell’s “The Land is Green.”
Conclusion: We can clearly say that David’s WEF did not qualify for the Grammy Award for Best Song for Social Change.
