this thread is a reaction to the thread "why davido never been nominated for a Grammy". Greatnesss and hard work made davido a topic of discuss. else it could have been why has tiwa savage, Tu face or Wizkids album never been nominated for a Grammy. If there was a category for world/global album song, I am sure davido would have one Grammy with the song fall. the song charted on the US charts for 40 weeks straight and it made remarkable achievements in the charts of many European and American countries. if there was ever a category like best world/global song, Burna boys ye or on the low would have also bagged an award in that category, same for Wizkids soco. Interestingly, let me tell you why I don't feel the Grammy's should be a validation for the greatness , uniqueness and versatility of any African artist. The Grammy's want you to touch themes on corruption, insecurity, oppression, gender awareness, gender inequality and racial inequality before they can consider you for nominations. this is evident in burna boys work "African giant " and Angelique kidjo "celia". African music should be solely for the fun of it, we appreciate women in our culture and we feel they need to be worshipped and pampered. this is the reality of our music today, which I cannot condem because it is cultural and original. African musicians do not really have business with the Grammy's. most of the American songs nominated in the Grammy's, do not touch these themes which are a burden for African and Middle Eastern artistes. As a Nigerian, I pray Burna boys "twice as tall" should win in the category nominated, hence it would force him to lose his originality and African appraisals for the white man's approval because from what I have seen he is hell bent on winning it for bragging rights. The Grammy really has no business or influence in the African and market value of African music, hence no Nigerian album would have gotten more streams than kidjos, Celia album. the Latinos have taken these into consideration, hence the reason why they have their own Grammy's. dear African artistes, keep having fun and expressing yourselves in your own way and do not let the misinformed Grammy influence your style or actions towards music. Music should be for the fun of it, I implore moderators over here to kindly remove the thread on why davido has never gotten a Grammy from the front page, because I feel it is a senseless aimed attack on his personality and brand. cc airmark. cc seanwilliam cc jagorinho

I agree to everything you’ve said up there except the bolded .. Grammy mostly deals with album sales , streams and people’s choice. Not necessarily songs with sensible lyrics that cut across the bolded

I disagree with you sir, between Celia and African giant which album had more streams? they don't even look at people's choice else blinding lights would have gotten a Nomination!

Sir, are u trying to say every song that has won or nominated for Grammy cut across “themes on corruption, insecurity, oppression, gender awareness, gender inequality and racial inequality”?
