The announcement of the 66th Grammy Awards nominations has stirred mixed reactions among netizens, particularly due to the absence of Afrobeats superstars Tems and Wizkid from the prestigious award list.
Earlier today, the Grammys unveiled the names of African singers who have previously secured Grammy Awards. The list, spanning from the 1960s to the present, showcased notable names such as the late South African singer Miriam Makeba, pop sensation Sade, and the most recent Nigerian winner, Burna Boy.
However, the exclusion of Tems and Wizkid from the nominations list for the upcoming 66th Grammy Awards sparked diverse opinions on social media. Fans and followers expressed their disappointment and questioned the criteria used in the selection process. Some argued that the omission was a notable oversight, considering the global impact of Tems and Wizkid’s contributions to the music industry.
As the Grammy Awards continue to be a topic of discussion, fans eagerly await official responses from Tems and Wizkid’s teams regarding the omission and anticipate how the artists themselves will react to this development.
