Congratulations to Ayodeji Ibrahim, AKA #Wizkid, for setting a new record of the most streamed #album by an #African artiste on Spotify for its first week with Morayo, which has achieved 48 million streams in six days. This achievement has broken the previous record held by South Africa's Tyla, at 46.4 million streams in a week.

It is no surprise that he is also a Grammy winner. When you raise your country's image, you are also likely to raise a #Grammy.

An Omoluabi atata. May God continue to promote Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun as he promotes #Nigeria.

“Every #Nigerian artist nominated for the #Grammy Awards this year should immediately call and ask the Grammys to REMOVE their name from the nomination list as soon as possible” — Music Base Africa ‼️

Today, the Grammy #Awards showed the entire world that they know nothing about African music.

How can a category titled Best #African Music Performance feature artists only from a single country?

And why did they nominate just 5 people when over 50,000 African artists submitted projects for consideration?

#Africa is home to a wealth of diverse music genres. Imagine an African Grammy category without a single Amapiano track!

On behalf of over 1 billion African music lovers, we reject any Grammy Award nominations given to our artists this year.

The Grammys need to do their homework and come back when they’re ready to truly recognize Africa’s #rich musical diversity.

We speak for every African when we say this !!

“Wizkid for a long time in his life was not fortunate enough to afford or pay for studio time and so he was a studio rat as he will go to any studio where they will let him hang out and he would hang out all day and just wait, hope and pray for the end of the day for ..." - Banky W opens up on how the Grammy-winning singer, Wizkid started from scratch and built his music career into one of the biggest brands ever.

Nigerians react as Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and others are nominated in the same Grammy category.

Which artist from your country do you want to see win a Grammy Award this year ?! 🤔

“If you see any artist winning multiple #Grammy #awards just know they either sold their søul to the d£vil or had to do something funny. The #Grammys are no longer a measure of talent. You have to give them something to win it... I told them never to invite me to their awards again, and I threw away all the ones I won to be happy.” ~ #Eminem reveals 😱
