      I agree, Burna Boy is very talented artist, as are many other artists out of Africa. Look no further than the hit song “Jerusalema “ a prime example. I wonder though if going to the Grammy awards is entering the shark tank, Katt Williams has warn of the dangers in the entertainment industry/business. As the saying goes “You have got to have talent to make money. You have got to have brains to keep it”.

    Africa needs to protect this music genre and own it, Afrobeats needs to be owned and controlled by Africans. It's already taking over and will rival any other genre. We don't need our music to be controlled by other people who are not of our culture. W Burna Boy and all other Artists.

    Naah, all popular music styles only stay longer at the top for nominations if it does not become monotonous and continues to develop musically, otherwise interest can go downhill very quickly, as we have seen with dance hall, regeaton, etc.that's why afro beat since 2 years that it rose on the world stage after this big loss of nominations has to get started especially in the musical field🎹 and versatility otherwise it can disappear very quickly

    Want thing you all should know Grammy award is a political game, has nothing to do with excellence or how good you are. The people who call the shot determines you wins. Africans should put their trust in Grammy. Love yourself artists and cheer then forget the Grammy awards. If you don't fic their political narrative you wouldn't get a Grammy no matter how good you are. Why not we design and Award in Africa and call it "World awards" let the rest of the world compete to be part of it.

Not sure what she is going to do with all that money? Regardless, I am sure she will be joining the Billionaire club soon, just like Jay Z being a Multi-Billionaire. Peace...
