Nigerian comedian and self-proclaimed financial advisor, GehGeh, has stirred conversation over Davido’s Grammy snub, claiming the awards scheme strategically uses Nigerian stars for hype.
“If you check the history of the Grammy, na people wey no really care about the award dey win.
"Once they know you are really obsessed with it, you go cry tire, you no go see am,” he said.
He further alleged that the Grammys capitalize on Nigerian stars like Davido and Wizkid to boost engagement in Africa.
“Why do you think Drake stopped submitting his songs? Why would they put Chris Brown in the Afrobeat category?
To market the award to Africans,” he argued.
His comments follow Davido’s loss at the 67th Grammy Awards, where several top Nigerian artistes also went home empty-handed.
