Popular Nollywood Veteran actor Osita Iheme has written some words of encouragement to Nigerian singers who lost at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
The actor noted that their talents weren’t enough to secure the award as other factors were considered by the academy.
Sharing via his Instagram page, he wrote;
“Dear @ayonimashaun you tried to change the narratives but my home boys couldn’t see the future with you. They looked the other way after some time citing some wrongdoings. Thereby forcing you to move to that side. Homeboys whatever happened in the Headies award happens x3 on the other side. Talent is not enough, there’s politics, finance, branding, monopoly, and awareness. All of these are needed to activate to keep that LA gathering relevant. Does it hold outside? NO. Cause it will lose the sauce. Afrobeat to the world, Do you need that gathering to show your talent? You have conquered before their recognition. But your presence and fan base are needed to sell to the world. Because is your time. That’s if you are aware, But is done in LA of course is larger than life. There a better graphics of the plaque but I choose this what you call it is what it is. Take your crown and rule your world. Meanwhile congrats Nwanyioma @tyla. Africa wins”
