Singer, Yemi Alade comes for Netizens over Angelique Kidjo’s Grammy win.
Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade has reacted to critics on social media as regards the Grammy Best Global Music Album Category won by Angelique Kidjo for Mother Nature.
After her album won Best Global Music Album, Angélique Kidjo became the first African woman to win five Grammys.
For a fact, Yemi won herself the first Grammy certification for her participation in Angelique Kidjo’s Mother Nature album.
However, Netizens were outraged that their favourite did not win, and this resulted in criticizing the Beninese protege.
In responding to this, Yemi reposted @PapiWater’s post, explaining that “Mother Nature” honored Africans’originality as well as victims of the Nigerian #EndSARS protests and climate change.
The post read, “Angelique Kidjo dropped an album in which the headline song talked about the dangers of climate change-induced disasters (that the West is worried about) and how it will impact Africa more but you are wondering why she won a Grammy for that body of work”.
