Wizkid nominated for Grammy Awards

Star Boy Wizkid will be the first Nigerian to win a Grammy if he gets the prize on February 12, 2017 when the ceremony will hold as he has been nominated in the prestigious Grammy Awards nominees list for his role in Drake’s hit single “One Dance”.
The track, which also features Kyla, is off Drake’s award winning album “Views” which stood out as one of the best albums released in 2016.

The album Views will however face tough competition from Adele’s 25, Beyonce’s Lemonade, and Justin Bieber’s Purpose.

Wizkid had so far this year won  awards like the Best African Act at the 2016 Music of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards ceremony, Best African Artist at AFRIMA and MTV MAMAs.

Also, South African band Ladysmith Black Mambazo is nominated in the Best World Music Album category for Walking In The Footsteps Of Our Fathers.

The band has won four Grammys between 1988 and February 2016.
