She won the award very unafricanly. Her sound is western and she doesn't reside in Nigeria.


When you sit back and see how hard it is to be nominated, yet alone win a Grammy with an African genre of music, while you are still based in Africa... U'd know what burna has done is extra special and I doubt if any nigerian artist in next 5years can solo win a Grammy unless burna himself again

I am not here, a friend of mine from ADU family just drew my attention here. This topic is for youths. Youths cannot know anything about Sade Adu and her attachment to Nigeria during her music days. She was so much attached to Nigeria though her music is not Africa music.

Sunny Ade was nominated once or twice but did not win. The young man tried. The youths should focus more on entrepreneurial and technology innovations than music.

When you see you are loosing sense you begin digressing.

Before I continue to reply to you (if that will be necessary), tell me why we started this conversation in the first place? (Bcoz obviously you don miss road )

I pointed out to you that there are others who are actually better musicians than Burna who have not won nor for nominated for Grammy. You insist Burna won so he's the best.

Agbegbaorogboye:


Why don't you find out the nomination process? What I'm saying is a lot goes into getting nominated and actually winning than just the album or song.
I'm sure you'll agree none of Burna's songs or album have struck the Nigerian music scene the way African Queen did

You must also note that its burna at the movement vs other great sounds that could easily get you distracted but lucky for him "the grammies" Didn't get distracted like we Nigerians were almost forgetting we have a living legend in our midst.





Thanks Grammy

Arrogant ...he told you he is bigger than your fav and he did it ...he won a Grammy let your fav go and win it

Oga the fact that he won a Grammy does not make him better than davido.
Wole shoyinka won a Nobel price in literature, but we all know he is no where near the literary icon, chinua Achebe . Victor ikpeba, amuneke, yekini all won the African footballer of the year award,but we all know they are no where near Jay Jay magic Okocha.
Point is awards do not necessarily prove or show anyone as the best or better person in any field.

Respect Burna Man!
When I listened to Twice as Tall.....I knew he would just win it....those speech is so full of pure motivation. The way he delivers it.....
What Dbanj, Davido, even whizkid could not do....you did it....
Burna Man.......Respect...i still like that Ye! Make I dey gbadun that one jare......

Only the Grammy awards officials knows why they gave him the award. For we Nigerians we know he doesn’t even come close to first 100 best Nigerian musicians or artists of all time

Adieos

How is it incorrect? My question to you is premised on the fact that I'm aware that for a song to be considered, it must be submitted by a member of the academy or by a media company registered in the US.
The song must also have been distributed for sale or listening in the US.
So, you see why not all songs actually get a look in for Grammy and the influence of Sean combs on this particular win?

Yeah right

Na you occupy the top 99

BluntTheApostle:


I thought I was chatting with a well mannered person.

Anyway, the record states that Sade Adu and Seal are British singers.

If they collate a list of Grammy winners by country, their names will fall under England.

This is like Algerians claiming that an Algerian has won FIFA best player award because Zinedine Zidane won the award.

Zinedine Zidane has Algerian roots, but the records state that he is a French man.

The same for Kante, and other Africans who have become citizens of other countries.

Well, I apologize if my comments hurt you. I'm sorry.. back to the matter... SIKIRU ADEPOJU is a man who plays TALKING DRUM( Gangan) and he's a Typical Nigerian... All I'm saying is that Nigeria has been making waves before now..its just because hip-hop is the new rave.. People have been bagging awards in different Genre..
Once again... I'm so sorry for my earlier comments

OyinO:
BIG CONGRATULATIONS.
From the very first time I listened to "Like to Party", I knew a new STAR has been born in Naija. My prediction was right on point. Today, full manifestation. Also making Almighty Fela Anikulapo proud. More power to his Elbows.

Bro!!!! Real Truth fam! me too!!!

donforeign:
who be your papa role model. na speed darlington be ur role model lmao

Do I have any business with you? Pls am not a kid

RedSquid:



Seal and Sade Adu were solo artists when they won it na

those consider themselves to be UK citizens, not Nigerians even though they are of Nigerian origin, burna is the first home grown Nigerian artist to win it.

barman abeg give me more bottles Oluwaburna is here

How did Grammy not get "distracted"? Like I said, I'm not trying to take anything from him but saying he's the best musician because he won a Grammy is just too simplistic

BLoomfrancs:


Hmmm . You are the one in pain cos you wished it went to a Yoruba but your hopes were dashed the moment you realized the obvious.

Continue consoling yourself

But no matter how you wanna paint it. Burna is not Yoruba and can never be. If he had committed a crime, I am very sure your tribalistic ass won't remember he has a mom.

Ode. Burna is Ijaw. Cry all you want; that is what it is.

The Guy has no reason to be Jealous.. he has plenty of Yorubas who had grammy in their archive.... How will you feel if Anthony Joshua is from your tribe... I guess you'll be happy except you don't like good things...

Wow.congrats burns boy

You have just proved me right that you guys are the most hopeless bigots to ever walk this earth. Lions that are being given a hot chase out of their luckless fatherland. Lions my ass. Ignorant buffoon.

Moneywomen17:
edo boy na ijaw minority like u Dey claim Grammy what has your tribe ever won. First Nigeria to win Grammy sikiru adepoju is Yoruba. First “solo artist to win Grammy burna boy” na ijaw even Benin republic Angelique Kidjo fon with similar population to edo do win Grammy. When u go win any Grammy edo boy and make ur tribe proud. Meanwhile those guys that I listed that won Grammy are either Yoruba or their mom is. When edo go win anything even someone that has edo mom will do.

I don't think he is from Edo like he claimed. Probably lived or living there and have learned the language. You should know which tribe can be so toxic and has vendetta against the Yoruba in Nigeria. Although I like how you smartly combine the two tribe (Edo and the toxic one) in your rebuttal to him.
