Just In: Legendary singer and songwriter shares insight on why nigerian music albums made it to the grammys

Nigerian Legendary singer and songwriter,Tuface Idibia shared  his deep understanding  about what made Nigerian music albums to be nominated by the Grammy academy board and what distinguish them from other African albums.

Legendary 2Baba in an Instagram post highlighted the major factors that has led to many great music albums no getting nominations for the Grammy awards.

According to the legend, Wizkid’s nomination was as a results of being closely associated with American rapper Drake and also claimed that Burna Boy’s win in the 63^rd Grammy Awards was made possible through veteran music executive and rapper Diddy who executively produced his album.

He wrote;

Another amazing light bulb insight from @emmaugolee
I do not know about you, but I still smile with pride when I think about what Burna & Wizzy did for us. Thanks to them, see our shoulders disrupting airplane movement when we are around other African music acts. 

Anyone who underates this achievement needs a drainage system for bad blood.
Speaking of which, I was also proud of the brotherly support other music acts gave our winners. It takes maturity to do that & mean it because human nature would rather lean towards envy.
As I thought about it, I flashed passed a weird reason why bringing home the Grammy can be a little bit more spectacular.
Here’s the window I saw. 

Every single time we have been invited to the Grammy table, we were in the midst of very heavy & significant Hollywood company.
Go as way back to our 1st invite as a Nominee. It was 1984, the Category was then called “Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording.”

For the album “Synchro system” by King Sunny Ade.
Produced by globally renowned Martin Meissonnier while the King was officially signed on to Island records. The album had made #91 on the billboard top 100 & the album before this, had Steven Wonder on a track called Ase. KSA’s Hollywood connect was top notch.
Back to Wizkid and Burna. The 1st time Wizkid got a Grammy nomination, he was riding on affiliation to Drake.

The album: ‘Veiws’ if I recall correctly, was up for Album of the year in 2016
His 2nd coming to the table wasn’t without John the Baptist either. This time it was Beyonce who went ahead of our brown skin star boy.
As a fan of Wizzy, it is hard for me to conclude that these two efforts were the best thing he has done in over 10 years, considering that he has had 33 music videos 44 singles, 4 studio albums 16 guest appearances 7 covers and freestyles. Yet only the Hollywood attachments could get him a sit at the table.
In Burna’s case. Thinking of the Hollywood influence, all I can say is “Wawu!”.

Where do I start from? Puff Daddy as Co-executive producer? Timbaland & DJDS as Producers? A Naughty by Nature feature, The contribution of I do English singer song writter, instrumentalist and recorded producer Ch
