Despite the disappointment, some X users emphasised the need to focus on the bigger picture.
In a surprising turn of events at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles, on Sunday, Nigerian music sensations, including Davido and Burna Boy, faced a disappointing defeat as they lost in all their nominated categories.
Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake also failed to make the list of winners.
The news sparked widespread disappointment and frustration among fans and the Nigerian music community. Social media platforms have been flooded with expressions of disappointment, as fans lament the loss of their favourite stars.
The Best African Music Performance category saw South Africa’s Tyla emerge victorious with her song ‘Water’.
Also, in the much-anticipated Best Global Music Album category, Davido and Burna Boy fell short, with Shakti’s ‘This Moment’ clinching the coveted award.
The hashtag, #GrammySnubNaija, trended on X, with fans venting their frustration over what they perceived as a missed opportunity for Nigerian music to gain international recognition.
X became a virtual town square for fans to voice their disappointment, frustration, and disbelief.
