Timaya discusses his feelings about this year’s 66th Grammy Awards. The 66th Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles on February 5, 2024, and Nigerian musicians did not win any of their ten nominations.
Following the 66th Grammy trophies, when the Nigerian delegation was not able to win any of the trophies for which they were nominated, reactions kept coming in.
Nigerian dancehall legend Timaya argued against the Recording Academy being accused by some members of the public of utilizing Afrobeats as leverage.
Timaya stated in a Beat FM interview that Nigerians don’t need to go back home as there are no respectable awards offered domestically, and those that are there, like the Headies, lack credibility.
According to Timaya, the defeat shouldn’t discourage Nigerian celebrities—rather, it should motivate them to work even harder.
