You see how the title reads " Nigerian-born UK Artist..." If this was to be an Igbo guy, the title would read "Igbo man wins Mercury Award in the UK".

I've seen so many of this stuff on the Internet. Rather than stating the country the guys comes from, his tribe always comes first. So much for patriotism. And you wonder why you've not been so successful in politics. But whenever any of them get killed or harassed in foreign countries, "A Nigerian man" title would be preferred.

u a fan?

Yep a big fan. I prefer grime to the mainstream American rap /hip hop because grime artists are more concerned about hard hitting lyrics than half naked women in over done music videos.
My favourites are chip, Skepta, JME, Giggs, Bugzy Malone, Stormzy and Kano to name a few

shame to all yorubas n igbos here

Giggs ain't Grime. He is more like trap music with a little American West Coast/gangster rap mix.

Chippy is not grime anymore. He hasn't been for 6 years now. I doubt if he ever was grime anyway.

I guess most people mistake Chip for a grime artist because he used to hang a lot with grime artists like BBK, mostly Skepta and Grime Allstars.

I would put Chippy in the same group as NDubz.

To me, the best Grime artists ever remain Dizzee (before he switched to pop), Wiley (listen to his track Music Money before people knew what was called Grime. I am talking about 2006), Skepta, Wretch 32 (though slower execution), Double S of Marvell Boys and of course Lady Leshurr.

Congrats to him!

oh please! Did you miss the whole chipmunk v bugzy malone beef. Don't try to tell me Chip isn't grime. Guess you haven't listened to him lately. Yea he did some pop music so what?
I can't even have this convo. Can't go anywhere on the Internet without finding a chipmunk hater.

I am far from a hater. I've been listening to Chippy for years now and I still do but Chippy has never been a true grime artist.

Chip and Bugzy beef was one sided. Bugzy is a grime artist, Chippy isn't and the so called beef ended as quickly as it started. Grime beefing with pop is pointless. Chip can't keep up.

Oh and yeah, you heard it from me, Giggs is not a grime artist and has never claimed to be one.

Maybe you should look up what makes a grime song and artist.

This is Wonderful...

Kudos to u, Mr. Skepta!

sukkot:
he did ? that nigga is a skepta fanboy

Lol. Old news.

I broke the news as soon as he won it.

Man like Skepta. And he did it without a record contract - all by himself.

King of Grime - Legend.

Go on den, go on den, draw for the tool.

Sukkot

Man like Skepta with his mum and dad on the stage. Ijebu nyggah running things - big thangs ah gwan. Deya.

Joseph Junior Adenuga, the big bad Nigerian. Go on den, go on den - that's the slogan.

BBK man dem

Congrats Making naija proud

I SWEAR I DIDN'T CHECK OR SAW IS NAME

These Yoruba people and achievements like Agege bread and butter- walahi

Stop this thing. You "the Nigerian people" never contributed to his hustle or posted his songs or shared it or even liked it....infact most of you heard of him in "ojuelegba" rmx but you were too caught up in the wave of drake being on the track that you didn't notice the other dude "rapping about everybody hates Chris"...'who be skepta'....
Now dude dun win award and because its a big award it had turned to "Nigerian"-born. Stop that crap and promote the lil dudes around you during their humble beginnings so that when they "blow" you can claim woreva.
Slave mentality...
Is there anything like "American"-born Nigerian??
Even countries like Algeria, cape verse etc dont call people like zidane "algerian-born", or Henry "cape verdian" born.... Is skepta a British citizen Yes! Case very closed!

Looool. You're a taking the piss with this comment. But it cracked me up tho. Loool.

Nah, Skepta is certified tho. His old crew, Meridian Crew put in work in Totty back in the day and they made the news. Heck, there is a BBC documentary about them and what happened in that documentary is the reason why he started rapping. Funny enough, he used to be out there Manny back in the day serving that white girl. Back when Manny was Gunchester lol.

He is a real one.
