Writing out what he thinks occurred yesterday, and stating the best way ahead, Fidelis wrote on his Fb web page thus;
”You’d agree with me, that the Grammy’s are greatest at utilizing African creatives to unfold their awards deep into Africa.
It’s like Nigeria versus one small village in your hometown, that’s how massive they’re, they don’t absolutely know our music tradition, they simply wanna carry us shut due to our exponential rising reputation.
Now, they knew no means any track would have overwhelmed Rema – Relax or it’s Remix therefore they didn’t nominate it.
Identical means a yr earlier than, “Wizkid – Essence” misplaced, a track that was the largest as at then.
Davido had a number of interviews with the recording academy previous to the present, lifting hopes of Africans, they even had Burna boy of their performaning artists record to additional elevate hopes of Africans.
Now the Finest African Music efficiency award, which was given to “Tyla – Water” a South African. As she goes to select the award, they had been taking part in “Fela – Water” doesn’t it imply that they actually didn’t even find out about their songs or they had been simply eager to compensate Nigerians?
It’s time we embrace our pioneer African award organizations,
it’s time we create classes the place these white will get to battle for a spot not less than,
it’s time our artists do songs with out having Grammy in thoughts.
It’s time we see that Grammy are given to a specific loyal few which can be humble, that was why “Killèr Mike” even on selecting the primary yesterday knew he was coming to select an additional one— he actually stated “he could be again for extra”, he gained 3 out of three nominations.
– Snoop Dogg has no Grammy
– Nicki Minaj has by no means gained a Grammy
Yearly, Africans will get offended on the Grammy, and when the subsequent award comes shut they discover a method to infuse Africans inside to additional go widespread, similar to they knew Fela was an emblem of Afro beat, they saved nominating his son with nothing awarded and now they’re on the tails of our very personal Prime artists.
Let’s please see past white peoples award and embrace and develop our Headies award to world relevance. ~ Fidelis
