Why Davido, Wizkid, Others Can't Win Grammies - Ayuba ( What do you think?)



Bonsue Fuji exponent, Adewale Ayuba believes popular Nigerian hip-hop musicians, Davido, Wizkid and others would not be able to enter and win the Grammies anytime soon if they don't re-invent their music.

The legendary musician, who has about 23 albums to his credit, said Nigerian hip-hop artistes must learn how to re-invent themselves in the uniqueness of indigenous African music genres, such as Afrobeat, Highlife, Fuji and Juju, if they want to remain relevant in the music industry.

"As far as I am concerned, Davido and the likes sing Fuji. The truth is the music they play is sweeter than American hip hop and rhythm 'n' blues. So why call it hip hop? That is why they cannot enter for the Grammies as that tag 'hip hop' is limiting.

D’banj is losing it at home, how can he win away?



I challenge D’banj to blaze the trail once more, and have me re-editing my already typed works.

D'banj is not a great Singer, but he's probably the most successful. Anybody that is complaining now could be actually late ‘cuz if he were as bad as the saying goes, he wouldn't become as large as he is. …we realize we cannot Rap. We realize we cannot sing;  but we know we can entertain you in our own way.”
– Don Jazzy (Punch Newspaper, 8th October, 2011)
“Every Artiste’s work, unless he be a hermit, creating solely for his own satisfaction and with no need of sales, is to some extent socially conditioned; he depends upon the approval of his patrons.”
