South Africa’s Tyla Deserves Best African Music Grammy Award – Daddy Freeze

A controversial Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze, has expressed his belief that South African singer Tyla deserved her victory over Nigerian artists at the 66th Grammys.

Nigerians have expressed their disappointments earlier after big wigs in the country’s entertainment industry, the likes of Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Davido, Asake, and Olamide, were snubbed at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

Some Nigerian fans had questioned the decision, accusing the Recording Academy of bias.

Daddy Freeze, however,  defended Tyla’s win in the Best African Music Performance category. In a recent Instagram live session with his followers, the OAP maintained that Tyla’s Grammy win was justified.

He said: “Tyla’s Grammy win over Nigerian artists was not ojoro [scam]. I don’t see the ojoro. I’m struggling to see the ojoro.

“Globally, in my opinion, ‘Water’ was a slightly bigger song [than Nigerian songs nominated]. It doesn’t mean those songs were not big. They were very big. It’s just that ‘Water’ has more vitality. It is massive on Tiktok.”
