No Nigerian Grammy award winner…Yet

Yes, the Grammys took place in the midnight and No, Wizkid did not win an award. Neither did Kah-Lo, the other Nigerian you were expecting to bring home that iconic award

The Grammys considered by all to be music’s most important award show for the first time had two Nigerians in its nominees list – Wizkid nominated for his work on Drake’s One Dance in the Album of the year category and Kah-Lo for her work on DJ Riton’s Rinse and Repeat in the Best dance recording category.

Sadly, they didn’t win. Wizkid and Drake lost out to Adele and Kah-Lo and Riton lost out to The Chainsmokers.
