'‘Nigerians cannot win the Grammys, it is not for us'’ HIP TV boss, Ayo Animashaun says

Hip TV boss and organiser of Headies awards, Ayo Animashaun, said this in an interview with The Tribune.

“I really don’t understand why Nigerians want to win the Grammys. Grammys are not for us, but for Americans. We should get that right. They put everybody in one world music category. We are not their focus. It is not for us. Yes, we can win awards but they do not show us the way they run the award category during the show. I think we should make our own awards, our own Grammy and I would say it any day that the Grammy is not for us. They have built something big for themselves. Let them come and win awards in Nigeria or Africa. We don’t celebrate our own things. It’s just a shame. I have been to the Grammys many times and I don’t see many African artistes. They don’t particularly care because they recognise, mainly, their industry. They don’t know you exist. You go there taking pictures with them and when you are taking pictures with them, the guy is already looking somewhere else. See all the artistes that paid for international collaboration. What happened? They collect your money and they don’t want to come back. They don’t want to collaborate with you. And you know what? You will make so much money here if you really work hard and you will be known in the whole of Africa. Build your own. If I tell a sponsor now that we should take five artistes to the Grammy awards, they would be ready to do that but when it comes to Headies, we will be begging for sponsorship. Grammy is not our thing. Let’s do our thing. Let’s make it big and fantastatic. Why do you want to win Grammy. There is no World Cup for music.” he said

My Friend @flyboymiracle I loved you from the moment i saw your humility and the way you treated Nina during #BBNaija. I fought those that abused you for being boring and not entertaining enough. I am writing not because i am mad at you but because you haven’t been smart enough to send even a simple SMS not to me, because i don’t really care, but to E Money who i begged to support you and he ended up giving your family close to 1M Naira to get you votes.
