"This Grammy No Sweet" – Timaya Reacts As Nigerian Artists Miss Out

Popular singer Inetimi Alfred Timaya Odon aka Timaya has reacted after Nigerian artists lost out at this year's 66th Grammys.

 
Recall that the Nigerian quintet of Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Davido, Asake and Olamide were snubbed at the 66th Grammys on Sunday, with Tyla, the only non-Nigerian nominee in the maiden Best African Music Performance category, picking up the award.
 
Davido and Burna Boy also lost their nominations for the Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance categories.
 
Expressing his disappointment, Timaya wrote via his X handle: “This Grammys no sweet oo!”

Timaya.
Who organises Grammy? Is it not Americans?
You expect the Americans to give Grammy awards to Afrobeats artistes? No
Remember,  Americans style of music, Rap and RnB has been cosigned to the dustbin of history due to the emergence of Afrobeats
They're deliberately trying to show hatred toward Afrobeats. One could tell that Grammy organisers are not in anyway interested in African music. While introducing Tyla's music "Water" they were playing Fela Anikulapo's "Water" That's to show their lack of interest in Afrobeats.  They only gave it to Tyla as we're formality. To show their disguist to Nigeria the home of Afrobeats.
This was an act of showing their jealousy towards Afrobeats.  All we need in Africa is  corporate bodies coming together to create awards that's bigger than Grammy.
Then our artistes would not be crying for Grammy or using Grammy to judge their musical success.
