Nigerian actor, Uche Maduagwu, has been known for sharing his opinions on trending issues on social media, particularly if it is about other celebrities.

The prestigious Grammy Awards recently took place at the Staples Center and a number of Nigerians were interested in the show because of singer Burna Boy’s nomination for the Best World Music Album category.

However, Burna Boy lost the award to Beninese singer, Angelique Kidjo, and it has led to series of mixed reactions on social media. Many Nigerians claimed Burna Boy really stood no chance alongside the four time Grammy Award winner while others said his time will also come.

Well, Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has taken to social media to react to Burna Boy's loss to Angelique Kidjo, as well as prophecy that billionaire daughter, DJ Cuppy, will be the first DJ from Nigeria to get a Grammy nomination.

According to Maduagwu, Angelique Kidjo's win is a victory for all African women and it is wishful thinking to hope another African singer will beat someone who already has three Grammy wins and a four decade of dominance as a globally successful African singer.

Uche Maduagwu added that Nigerian female musicians should see Angelique Kidjo as a motivation to rise up and take over the male dominated music industry.

The caption to his post reads: "Angelique Kidjo's Grammy is a victory for women in Africa, @cuppymusic will become the first Nigerian DJ to get a Grammy nomination.

It's a wishful thinking hoping for another African singer to beat someone that already has 3 Grammy awards, a four decade of dominance as a successful African singer globally, and 13 albums to her credit, this Beninese singer deserve to win the best world music category at the 62nd Grammy award in America.

Honestly, I think this should be a motivation to other Nigerian female singers to rise up and take the music industry with their creativity, female singers in Africa should stop allowing male singers intimidate them, music has no gender, talent and creativity is everything. Cuppy will become the first DJ in Naija to get a Grammy nomination, haters are free to write this prophecy down."
