Grammy Awards 2022 Full Winners List

Angelique Kidjo grammy 2022

The curtains have drawn and fallen on the biggest event in the music industry – the Grammy Awards. Though no Nigerian artist scooped the bell-shaped accolade, a few of them won by association. If you watched the event, then you know we’re referring to Angelique Kidjo’s winning speech where she thanked Nigerian artists Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, and Mr. Eazi for their input in her critically acclaimed album, Mother Nature which won the Best Global Music Album, a category that gave a nod to Wiz Kid.

Machala as well as other Nigerian artists including Femi Kuti and Burner boy also received a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Global Performance but they lost out to Pakistan musician Aroof Aftab’s Mohabbat. Jon Batiste who received the most nominations (11) when the nomination list was published in November 2021 went home with the most awards – a whopping 5!

South African comedian Trevor Noah immaculately steered the three-hour event which was held at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. Here is a full list of all winners of the 2022 Grammy Award.

OAP Dotun Decries Drop In Quality Of Nigerian Music

On-air personality, Dotun, has echoed the feelings of most Nigerian music listeners about the longevity of Afrobeats songs in recent years. He argued that music listeners are overwhelmed with choices as numerous tracks are released simultaneously, often driven by trends.

He suggested that many of these songs are created primarily to cater to attention-seeking audiences, with a strong focus on streaming numbers.

Taking to his X, he wrote:

Most of the songs made now in the last five years have no longevity. You might not remember them not because they not good enough but the market is over-saturated with so many songs made in haste. It’s a race to be heard, a number game over anything else.

The music industry in Nigeria is pressured. Some songs these artists make lately is to satisfy an attention-seeking audience; and compete with themselves over satisfying their conscience. if we let them be selfish with their creativity sometimes, u will get the best out of them when you dictate what you want always over encouraging their freedom of creativity, you can’t get the best out of them.

Apparently; you don’t!

One could agree with Dotun that the quality of music has declined in recent years, particularly with the rise of the ‘Afrobeats to the World’ mantra.

Nigerian artists often cater to the international market, driven by commercial pressures stemming from the record deals many of them sign.

Dotun said in another tweet, ‘Gbedu Dey drop but Gbedu no Dey last’.

Compared to the previous generation, new school artistes hardly ever give enough time for their projects to saturate before releasing new ones, all in a bid for bragging rights among fanbases; outdoing the charts on DSPs amongst others.

Nathaniel Bassey To Minister At Trump’s Inaugural Prayer Breakfast

Social media has been set ablaze with reactions following Nigerian gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey’s announcement that he will minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for US President-elect Donald Trump. On January 5, 2024, the renowned gospel artiste announced the good news on his social media pages, expressing his excitement for this year’s event which is scheduled to take place on January 20, 2025.

He wrote, “Let’s raise a sound in America. And let the King of Glory come in. See you. 20th January, 2025. The Presidential Prayer Breakfast is a non-official and non-governmental event. It is a faith-based platform where intercessory prayers and worship are offered to God on behalf of the president’s office and the nation’s government.”

Bassey’s announcement sparked intense discussions across social media and drew criticism equal to the commendations he received.

Here are a few of the comments

Nathaniel Bassey ministering at Trump’s inauguration is revolting and a disgusting betrayal of everything Christianity claims to stand for. and you Christians applauding and celebrating it like some divine victory are even worse, shameless, lacking common sense and morality.

Kingdom Stewardship——Global Recognition. God is not a user of men, He is indeed a rewarder of men who diligently serve HIM.

Why did Nathaniel Bassey turn off the comments section in this post? we all know what we’re doing.

The thing is, every time people who are famous for their Christianity mingle with the powers that be, there’s almost always no change thereafter. And the Church is no longer the conscience of the world. So I understand your misgivings. However, I think of Daniel in this.

Nigerian Christians are the type to demonize secular music and artists, but fraternize with unscrupulous politicians. Everybody with their acceptable level of hypocrisy

As long as the Politician is a convicted rapist that calls the name of Jesus. Or An Election rigger that gives testimony CT will look the other way. Just mention tithe or Night Vigil you’ll see soldiers of the cross Arrive immediately.

One minute una go dey shout Trump is an ex convict, he’s a ‘women abu$er, he’s a deviI incarnate etc”, all of a sudden, Una pastor don dey stand before kings and rulers. I was expecting to see things like “dining on the same tables with an abu$er etc”. Our people only identify with things when the success benefits them or when it glorifies their religious indoctrination. They fail to understand politics 😂
