Cobhams Asuquo criticises the Grammy
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian producer Cobhams Asuquo accused the Grammy Awards of exploiting Nigerian artistes and fans by boosting Los Angeles' economy through attendance, while withholding awards.
The music director, who worked on Davido's "5ive Alive" world tour, called for Nigerians to invest in homegrown awards like the Headies instead of chasing Grammy recognition.
His comment followed Nigeria's disappointing performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards, where South African singer Tyla won the Best African Music Performance award ahead of Burna Boy, Davido, and Ayra Starr.
