It’s not over until we win is one of Nigerians favorite lines in.We may have lost the Grammy but our music travels all over the world and it is undeniable the effect it has.
Netizens are buzzing with reactions to the outcomes of the 66th Grammy Awards, especially regarding the disappointment felt by Nigerian artists. Despite their fervent talent, five dynamic afrobeat musicians from Nigeria found themselves empty-handed in their respective categories.
In a ray of African glory, Tyla from South Africa emerged victorious in the Best African Music category, standing as the sole beacon of triumph from the continent. This victory overshadowed renowned names like Burnaboy, Davido, Ayra Star, Asake, and Olamide.
While Davido graciously extended his congratulations to Tyla, dubbing it a ‘Win for Africa,’ Nigerians aren’t quite ready to accept defeat. Many perceive it as a setback in the ongoing Amapiano rivalry.
The Nigerian community feels the absence of significant wins or nominations in the categories has tilted the scales in favor of South Africa. Now, their hopes pivot to Wednesday’s semi-final football match in the 2023 AFCON, where they seek redemption and a chance to reclaim their spotlight.
Nigerians are eagerly shifting their focus to the upcoming AFCON match on Wednesday, where Nigeria’s Super Eagles will go head-to-head against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in Cote D’Ivoire. With anticipation running high, Nigerians are yearning for a chance at redemption, hoping for a triumphant victory to settle the score and secure a spot in the final.
