Nigerians have been dragging the Grammys following the outcome of its 66th Annual Awards that saw South African singer, Tyla as the only non-Nigerian nominee in the maiden Best African Music Performance category, winning the award, defeating the likes of Davido, Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Asake and Olamide.
Famous singer, Inetimi Alfred Timaya Odon, popularly known as Timaya, reacting to the development, said that most Nigerian awards are worse than the Grammys.
Timaya, stated this in an interview recently, claiming that Nigerian awards lack credibility.
He said: “What is my take on a lot of people saying the Grammy used Afrobeats and we need to come back home and grow?”
“We don’t need to come back home. Even our own, which credible awards? Is it the Hip-hop awards, Hip TV awards (The Headies)? I don’t even know. They are not credible either. They are even worse than the Grammys.
“If we have a homegrown award that is credible, people would gravitate towards it. But for now, whether you like it or not, Grammy is still Grammy. We don’t have to back down because Nigerian artists lost this year. We are going again.”
