The February 5, 2024, the 66th Grammy turned out to be a disappointing night for Nigerians as the Afrobeats contingent failed to pick up any award.
The failure of Nigerian artists to win any of their 10 nominations has generated reactions from Nigerians with many displeased at the outcome.
Rapper Ikechukwu took to social media account to share his displeasure as he accused the Recording Academy of using and betraying Nigerians. According to the rapper, Afrobeats was milked for its publicity and used to enhance the Grammy’s appeal this year and in return, Nigerians got nothing as they were betrayed and the award given to others.
“We should stop sending in submissions and create our own award,” Ikechukwu said as he called on Nigerian artists to stop sending in their songs for Grammy consideration.
