Grammy: Wizkid Fans Blow Hot Over Singer's Loss To Angelique Kidjo

Eunice Oluwafunmilayo

Wizkid’s fans were unhappy after the Nigerian Afrobeats singer lost both of his Grammy nominations in 2022.

For the Best Global Music Performance award, Wizkid’s Essence was defeated by Arooj Aftab’s Mohabaat. Made in Lagos, which had been nominated for Best Global Music Album, was defeated by Angelique Kidjo’s Mother Nature.

While Wizkid is yet to react to the awards, his army of supporters, dubbed Wizkid Fc, have taken to Kidjo’s social media profile to vent their frustrations.

The singer then deleted the comments section on her Instagram celebration post. As a result, Wizkid fabs took to her past posts to express their dissatisfaction with her.

@Chioma_Jay said, “Wizkid deserves the award!!!”

@officialkabar also wrote, “we should be able to comment on your last post madam Grammy

“You should let younger ones also make history, what did you even sing, I didn’t hear it on the radio, I didn’t hear it anywhere. Wizkid’s song is all over the world and he got nothing for it,” @leehoonstro5353 commented

@IcetheDJ also said, “no hate, but I want to know how you deserve the award because honestly, you don’t deserve it. Your album wasn’t good and nobody knows about your album. In general, I and you know Wizkid deserve it not you”

“You got Wizkid robbed,” @luisogemi wrote.

Essence was released in October 2020 as the 11th single on Wizkid’s fourth studio album, Made in Lagos, and features fast-rising sensation Tems.

Wizkid made history in July when his single Essence became the first Nigerian artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number nine in September.

In August, his album Made in Lagos debuted at number one on the Billboard World Album Chart.
