The organisers of the Grammy Award made a blunder at the 66th edition of the award on Sunday night as they played late Nigerian afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s ‘Water’ after announcing ‘Water’ by South African singer, Tyla, as the winner of the maiden Best African Music Performance category.

Gistmania reports that the Recording Academy announced Tyla’s ‘Water’ as the winner of the inaugural Best African Music Performance award ahead of songs by Nigerian artists: Davido’s ‘Unavailable,’ Asake’s ‘Amapiano,’ Burna Boy’s ‘City Boys,’ and Ayra Starr’s ‘Rush.’

But surprisingly, after the announcement, Fela’s evergreen record, ‘Water No Get Enemy’ came up instead of Tyla’s segxwalised mid-tempo tune.

The blunder sparked reactions from fans and music critics, especially in Nigeria, with many berating the Recording Academy for the “silly mistake.

..EXACTLY BRO. ALTHOUGH, IT IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO CURB THE SPREAD OF AFROBEATS BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT MOST TALENTED SINGERS FROM AFRICA ARE UNKNOWN NO MATTER THE LEVEL OF YOUR MUSIC AS LONG AS THE SINGER IS NOT A NATURAL RESIDENT OF UNITED STATES. NOT A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT BUT LACK OF EXPOSURES BECAUSE AFRICANS SPENT LITTLE MONEY ON ADVERTISING ONE OF THEIR OWN ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE
