The Grammys have always been a subject of debate, and this year’s ceremony has sparked controversy among Nigerian music fans. Tems took home the award for Best African Music Performance, beating out Davido, Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Asake.
One fan, @dombillionz on TikTok, expressed his disappointment, accusing the Grammys of being politicized and arguing that Davido’s talent and contributions made him the more deserving winner. However, it’s essential to remember that the Grammys are voted on by music industry professionals, and the winners are chosen based on their artistic and technical merits.
While it’s understandable that fans might feel their favorite artist was snubbed, it’s also important to recognize Tems’ achievement and the significance of her win. She has made history and represented Nigeria on the global stage. Perhaps we can celebrate her success while still acknowledging the disappointment of Davido’s fans.
“See ehh, Grammy e be like say una dey play politics with this thing. Davido suppose win Grammy this year. This guy is good. Una wan tell us say Tems better pass Davido? She sabi sing pass Davido? Abi she sabi baff up pass Davido? We no come trust this una award again. We no trust am. This thing is being politicised,” he lamented.
