Again, Nigeria-based artist loses the Grammy

Before he was nominated for this
year and lost out at the ceremony held on January 26, 2020, King Sunny Ade,
Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti had also been nominated at least five times between
them and they, and Nigeria thereby, lost out each time.
To help BB win, many Nigerians
campaigned for him massively online, including his colleagues who put aside
their own hopes of being the first to bring the Grammy to Nigeria, and hoped he
would win just to elevate the Nigerian music industry.
Alas, another African singer who
has already won Grammies before, Angelique Kidjo, won the category, Best World
Music Album, over him and the other nominees.
Mind you, Nigerians have won the
Grammy before. But they are not Nigeria-based music practitioners.
So who will be the first
Nigeria-based musician that will win the elusive Granmmy and set a lifetime world
record that can never be broken?
The wait continues.
