It's Grammy season, the time to celebrate nominations of our favorite Nigerian artists. Sadly, only one Nigerian artist made it to the 2021 Grammy nomination list. And that is the self-acclaimed African Giant, Burna Boy. His recent album, Twice as Tall was nominated under the Best Global Music Albumillioory.

Davido fans have been asking the one millionn dollar question, why has Davido never been nominated for a Grammy award, why wasn't he nominated for the 2020 grammy, and again the 2021 grammy?

Well, watch the video below, as we answer this question.

The quality of music is what the problem is. Listen to Burnaboy's lyrics and you will understand. That guy is deep. His music cut across borders. Songs that can make you sit and think. His songs bring the realities in the world into our headphones.

Can you say that about the other guy's music.
Ariwo no be music ooo

Burna is our 21st century Anikulapo

what's our business with Grammy if there was a Grammy category for best world song, fall would have been nominated and would have won it. white people do not have to tell us what our music have to be like. we don't need that validation anymore. we dont need to put that message in these songs because it's pointless, talking about oppression and slavery and inequality. music should be solely for the fun of it.

God will bless you immensely, asides bad leadership, most citizens of this country have low self worth, have you seen Indians drag their artistes for not getting Grammy? must a group of selected white elites determine our best artistes for us?

Because of this useless Grammy awards, some of our musicians had to alter their original style that brought them to limelight, I am sorry to say this, most blacks always seek the validations of whites on most issues which is sickening, I long for a day when Cardi B, Chris Brown, Justin Beiber etc would all strive and jostle to win an award organized and hosted in Nigeria.

Lol.. Davido and even Wizkid don't know how to sing. These two sing rubbish. Music is all about lyrics and the rhythm. None of the two have it. They are popular mainly becus Nigerians and sub saharan Africans love beat more.

Grammy is about class!!! Originality!!! Concept!!! Style and musical/vocal expertise!!! Pace setting!!! Global Appeal!!!

As much as I like Davido his song have not been Grammy focused. Burna’s African Giant was only Grammy worthy because of the producers and certain features.

Most Nigerian songs/artists are not Grammy worthy yet cos they are not just good enough based on my earlier points.

No modern Nigerian artists is Grammy worthy yet. Bt maybe burna is getting close cos of originality and sm other stuffs. And perhaps Asa

First of all the Op is stupid for saying "self acclaimed".Burna is not self acclaimed but the real " African Gaint" by merit.If Op support davido,he shouldnt hate others cos his oga wasnt nominated for the Grammy awards.

This is how you Africans continue to f00l yourselves. How can Grammy define your (own) class, concept and originality?

What's your definition of good enough? If 80% of Nigerians, including folks in Northern Nigeria, vibe to Rekaado Banks' or Davido's song, the song is not good enough because it didn't meet Grammy's "foreign" standard??

Mehn, you Africans are fucking disgraceful!

This is why Latin as a race got its own Grammy (Latin Grammy). You Africans will never get your 'own' Grammy because people like Burna Boy will continue to dish out foreign concepts mixed with South African Zulu-beats to fit in, a concept most Nigerians can't relate with.

Truth be told, his voice is good here, we are managing even with the auto tune.
I just feel he is not Grammy worthy, if he was, he would have been nominated.

No be all oyinbo dey like noise.
No offence meant!

I don't like noise, and I'm far from being oyinbo... Over 90 percent of Nigerian musicians are not Grammy worthy!!! This is neither hate nor inferiority complex.

Music goes beyond beats, dance-ability, and noise.... How many Nigerian artistes have lyrical content, depth and dexterity??!...

When you listen to songs of the 80s and early 90s, you will be truly and rightly saddened at how our musical standards have horrendously plummeted.

You are absolutely right. A good and decent home won't allow underage kids listen to Nigerian musics (hip hop). Their videos are nothing but porns

Honestly, no hard feelings even if I do, it won't matter.

If not that David has money (enormous wealth) to push his songs himself, name one producer or label that would wanna invest in him.

Thank God, oyinbos have produced machines, technologies that can make ur music sound so out of this world. Good beats, sequencing and all.

Remember when it was claimed that even JLo wasn't the one that voiced some of her songs
