I still can’t believe after Essence made so much waves, Wizkid was robbed off his Grammy title. Now I truly understand why Kanye West pee on the damn Grammy plaque. Essence is the song of the year, Wizkid FC for life.

Wizkid lost both Grammy awards
Arooj Aftab won best global music performance. And evergreen music monster Angelique Kidjo won best global music album.
WizkidFC brace up and stay strong. There will be more years and awards.
God bless @wizkidayo

All of a sudden, you people have realized you don’t need the Grammys? Nigerians are not yet serious. You were undermining a fellow country man’s achievement at the world cup by saying he sang with upcoming, now who the hell is that lady that just won best global song????
