its not impossible, naija singers have to improve tho

Let's do our thing, Imagine a whole Davido, using small "Young Thug" pictures from his(Thug) videos to shoot his(Davido)? and Wizkid doing two videos without Drake showing for it?, there are some good musician tho' like my undisputed Eminem�

he just said the absolute truth...
but back to fact, some Africans like Angelina kujo have won the Grammy because they made good music, the true reason why no Nigerian artist has won the Grammy is because they sing trash... full stop.

From that picture.. I now know where he coined "Headies" award

But 2face deserves a grammy.but Mr CEO do not forget their music has made you who you are so you also do not deserve an international recognition

2face my ads....wetin him dey sing?

How can we compete with them in what they taught us, enough of Western culture and see us soar. We should promote our indigenous music and love it, not lyrics like I sha pra pra and likes.

Hugh masekela,Soweto gospel,Miriam makemba are also traditional African musicians. ...femi kuti was also nominated four times

STFU. The people you give headies to what are they singing?

If you read the article you will understand better what he said . Always take time to read,think before talking.
What the man is saying is right , Grammy was created by the Americans and it is their award ,they decided who they want to give their awards to, we Africans should also develop our own awards and leave the Americans to be doing their own thing

99% of naija music is trash. But simi and Adekunle Gold are among the 1% with good lyrics to go with. You can add those you know to the 1%.
Na everything be boobs,Pusey to the 99%. Broke artists flaunting with imaginary money wey their entire generation.. no fit touch.

Have read through, seen comments as well.but they only thing i can say is that, this dude is looking for sponsors. Be like say people no to sponsor the award this time around.

angelique kidjo,Miriam makemba, Soweto gospel choir,femi kuti etc are Americans abi?

kpangolo music don't deserve no grammy. grammy is not headies. grammy is not for hungry unserious musicians who only know how to sing shaku shaku...grammy is for intelligent musicians.

With the heading and the content of the post, the Op is a slow poke.

happy Bleep day blood

I don't think nigerian artists deserve a Grammy but it's for a different reason though. My reason being that their lyrics are utilmately garbage. Most with nice lyrics have bad songs and most with bad lyrics have good songs. Infact it seems like nigeria is a big market for garbage lyrics.

It's also worthy of note that there are people in the US whose lyrics are inferior and even though they are big stars they haven't won any Grammy because of that an example is rick ross and no star in nigeria has a single song with lyrics that touches any of rick ross' song. This shows you how inferior our music has come to be.

They only way a nigerian would deserve a Grammy award is if they go back to the era of Fela, Osadebe and other legendary artists with reasonable song whose art form are almost completely dead in nigeria.

You got somethings mixed up. Rick Ross not winning Grammy doesnt mean his lyrics aren't tight. Nas never won a Grammy but his lyrics are off the hook.

NwaAmaikpe:



Neither do the folks who buy your Headies award deserve it.

The Grammy isn't just for the Americans. You're wrong Ayo; it is for all deserving good musicians irrespective of clime or genre.

Nigerian artistes deserve the Grammy and even more if they merit it. Sadly, such folks don't even get nominated on your fake Headies.

Dont let us be lazy in this country, go through the guy's interview and tell me where he mention that Nigeria musicians dont deserve to win grammy, Journalist are just so stupid and wicked that they want to thrive in controversy by using wrong heading and making others look bad

EmagNig:
HipTV CEO and the organizer of the popular Headies awards, Ayo Animashaun, has made a statement on the Grammy Awards and according to him, Nigerians artistes don't deserve to win the popular Award show in America.

In a recent interview with Tribune, when Ayo Animashaun was asked what is limiting Nigerian music from winning the Grammys, he said:

EmagNig abbi what is your name, where in this interview does the CEO mentioned that Nigerian muscian does not deserve grammy, you just want to paint others black so you will be on front page, people will insinuate things that you did not mention or do for you 1 day you will know how it feels
And the Mod that use to ban people, post and move post to frontpage, is not doing well atall, how will this post with a contradicting heading be on frontpage....

If Akon Was Nominated 5 Times And Won None. Who Is 2face?

not just Music, Nigeria is a garbage country with everything in her being garbage too , we live daily on full scale mediocrity.

Lol, coincidentally I was listening to the song when I came across your comment. Happy birthday man, my sister is your birthday mate.

The music quality been released by Nigerian artist is not worthy of a grammy., It's fake and unoriginal..Listen to authentic music from Senegambia, South Africa, Mali; then you will see why artist from those countries get genuine world wide coverage amongst musical experts world wide ( am not talking of youths in Africa and Jamaica)..

Dare Art Alade's song you are not the girl I used to know
Or Asa's songs jailer and the likes are Grammy award winning songs sang by Nigerians.

kolawoleibukun:
I agree!
The only artist that can or should get a grammy in Nigeria is (Femi) The Kuti's. Fela should get one given to his family for his achievements. He is the Quincy Jones or Beethoven of Naija.

ALL THESE THEM WIZKID AND OTHERS ARE SMELLING WATERS. APART FROM THE KUTI, TUFACE WAS THE CLOSEST TO ANY GRAMMY BUT TRUTH BE TOLD EVEN TUFACE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. NA HYPE AND TITLE OF A STOLEN SONG CARRY AM REACH THAT LEVEL.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE KUTI ABEG. ORIGINAL NO DAY WASH. THESE GUYS ARE GENUISES. THEY PLAY DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTALS, ARRANGE THEIR MUSIC, WRITE THEIR OWN MATERIALS AND STILL GOT THE VOCALS TO DELIVER. ORIGINALITY IS A GIFT THAT CAN ALWAYS BE POLISHED.

WHEN YOU LISTEN TO PEOPLE LIKE ANGELIQUE KIDJO AND WATCH HER PERFORM, YOU GO UNDERSTAND. WE NO GET ARTIST.

THE REASON WHY PSQUARE DEM BLOW LIKE THIS THEM GET TALENT TO DANCE. AND THEIR PRODUCERS GET COMMERCIAL QUALITY.

I APPRECIATE ALL NIGERIAN ARTISTS OH, BUT I NO GO SUPPORT MEDIOCRITY BECAUSE THE NEXT GENERATION NO GO GET SENSE. WHAT FELA GAVE US, WIZKID IS STILL TAPPING FROM FELA. DAVIDO IS STILL TAPING. THEY CANNOT TAP FROM THEMSELVES BECAUSE NOTHING DAY THERE. YOU SEE?

GUYS ABEG MAKE UNA SUPPORT THE KUTIs. THEY ARE THE LAST OF THEIR KIND FOR 9JA OH.

You should have listened to Dagrin...

That's so true. But you know nas doesn't have as much commercial songs as other rappers with grammies. Nas is a very deep lyricist but his lack of commercial success has deterred him. Grammy is usually for songs with a blend of music and lyrics.

Also nas has been unfortunate with timing, his first album was supposed to win something but I think the grammys have not introduced the 'best rap album category' then.

Wow!!! Am sure she's gorgeous! Thanks man

Nigerian journalists can never make heaven. What he said essentially was 'Nigerian artistes don't need to win Grammies'
