Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale recently shared thoughts on the 66th Grammy Awards ceremony, providing his perspective on the events of February 4th.
Leveraging his extensive award background, even without having attended the Grammys, he explored the unavoidable feeling of being overlooked within the industry.
He stressed, “If you want to learn how to become an award-winning artist in this music industry, you must be ready to face moments of sorrow because there will be times when you’ll shed tears. It’s a painful experience when you’ve put in so much effort and dedication, yet recognition eludes you. Life is a series of choices, and you have the power to make your own.”
The ‘Ayoo’ hitmaker’s comments come in the aftermath of the 66th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where artists experienced both triumph and defeat. The unexpected victory of “Water” by Tyla in the “Best African Music Performance” category, triumphing over Nigerian heavyweights, sparked outrage among Nigerian music enthusiasts who accused the GRAMMYs of potential sabotage and bias.
