Media personality and convener of the Free the Sheeple movement, Daddy Freeze, has declared that South African Grammy winner, Tyla deserved to win the award.
He said that the 22-year-old singer, who was nominated in the same category for the 66th Grammy Awards, defeated Nigerian artists to win the Best African Music award.
Recall that on Sunday, during the 66th Grammy Awards, Nigerian performers Burna Boy, Davido, Asake, Olamide, and Ayra Starr were unsuccessful in winning any prizes.
Some angry Nigerian music fans accused the Recording Academy of collusion in the selection of Tyla’s “Water” over popular songs by Omo Baba Olowo and Odogwu.
However, Freeze maintained that Tyla’s 2024 Grammy win was fully earned and differed from the viewpoint of many Nigerian fans.
He said;
“Tyla’s Grammy win over Nigerian artists was not ojoro [scam]. I don’t see the ojoro. I’m struggling to see the ojoro.
Globally, in my opinion, ‘Water’ was a slightly bigger song [than Nigerian songs nominated]. It doesn’t mean those songs were not big. They were very big. It’s just that ‘Water’ has more vitality. It is massive on Tiktok.”
