I still can’t believe after Essence made so much waves, Wizkid was robbed off his Grammy title. Now I truly understand why Kanye West pee on the damn Grammy plaque. Essence is the song of the year, Wizkid FC for life.

All of a sudden, you people have realized you don't need the Grammys? Nigerians are not yet serious. You were undermining a fellow country man's achievement at the world cup by saying he sang with upcoming, now who the hell is that lady that just won best global song????
