Lojay, who received the Finest Male Vocal Efficiency award on the seventeenth Headies stated, “As a lot because the Grammys and different worldwide awards are candy, as a Nigerian you may by no means grow to be precedence in an area that’s not your individual. We’re advocating simply to be put in Pop classes within the Grammys for precise pop songs. Tems made some of the stunning R&B album final yr they usually [Grammys] gave her Finest African Music Efficiency award.
“Why is she not being spoken about within the R&B, pop and Finest Feminine classes? As a result of they’ve individuals from their very own nation that they really feel deserve these awards and that’s okay. However what would assist me as a Nigerian artist, is for instance, for The Headies to be so effectively recognised that American artist win Headies award and are available to Nigeria to obtain the award. I might love a world when Travis Scott involves Nigeria for the Headies. I don’t achieve something from the Grammys being greater than The Headies. We right here don’t achieve something from the Grammys being greater. All people good points one thing from The Headies being greater.
“I’m a giant believer in Nigeria. I consider in Nigeria being higher, I consider in Nigeria being stronger. I consider in our individuals and the issues that we’re doing going international. So, we must always not look down on our personal issues.”
