Several top Nigerian stars; Burna Boy, Davido, Tems, Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake, bagged various nominations, however, shockingly, none emerged winner.
“Headies should head back to the HEADQUARTERS here in Africa”, ID Cabasa opined.
According to ID Cabasa: “This Opinion is “Mine” And it’s not that deep…
Grammy is an American award not the WORLD award.. it’s good to win it BUT really should not be a validation of greatness for any African artiste…
Being nominated and getting mentioned on it is already a WIN for our guys..
“Having said this… Can we please build our own systems and awards to reward what we understand better… Also support the existing award systems to make them better.
Headies should head back to the HEADQUARTERS here in Africa..”
HC: Thank you very much! You said it all.
