Earlier tonight, the whole country and particularly Wizkid FC, waited with bated breath to find out if the Starboy has finally copped his first Grammy. When they announced that Beyonce and Wizkid’s collaboration ‘Brown Skin Girl’ had won the best music video award, all of Nigeria went agog with excitement.
Wizkid had done what many could only dream of, and we were proud of him. The excitement could only be compared to Nigeria winning the world cup as the nation stood united to celebrate the 30-year-old.
As we celebrate Wizkid for representing the continent, different Nigerians and celebrities have taken to social media to send celebratory messages to him.
Don Jazzy who has been rooting for Wizkid for most of his career took to social media to celebrate him and Burna Boy who also copped a Grammy for ‘Best Global Music Album’. He said, “Congrats to Burna Boy & Wizkid for the Grammy wins. It’s not beans at all. More wins kings.”
DJ Spinall who has collaborated multiple times with the Grammy award-winner simply said, “Massive congratulations Wizkid”.
Adekunle Gold also said, “Big win for Nigerian Music! Big win for Africa! Big win for Afrobeats! Big Big Big! I’m so fucking happy! Stay inspired! Up Naija! My heart is so so full! Big Night!”
DJ Cuppy also sang praises of the superstar and Burna Boy, calling their win historic. She says, “HISTORIC NIGHT for Nigerian Music! I’m jumping up and down!!! Congrats Wizkid & Burna Boy on their #GRAMMYs 🇳🇬 …When THEY win, WE all win too!
Teni also joined the conversation saying, “What an amazing night for Afrobeats!! Congratulations Wizkid, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage”.
Congratulations are in order to Machalla, and we can’t wait to see what big things he does next.
