Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has stirred controversy by expressing his belief that South African singer Tyla deserved her victory over Nigerian artists at the 66th Grammys. This comes after Tyla’s success with her song ‘Water’ in the Best African Music Performance category, leaving Nigerian artists Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Davido, Asake, and Olamide empty-handed at the prestigious awards.
Amidst the backlash from Nigerian music fans who questioned Tyla’s win, Daddy Freeze defended her victory, stating that it was well-deserved. During an Instagram live session with fans, he emphasized that Tyla’s ‘Water’ was a globally impactful song and had a significant presence on platforms like TikTok.
While some may continue to dispute the decision, Daddy Freeze’s viewpoint sheds light on the diversity and impact of music across the African continent.
