Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Music artist, King Paluta believes that if the GRAMMY Awards are brought to Africa, it will depreciate the value of the award scheme.
He thinks they should keep it the way it is so that African artists can travel out of their continent to receive the awards.
King Paluta expressed his belief on United Television in Accra that if the event is held in Africa, the major music executives may not show up, which would be detrimental to artists trying to attract the interest of big labels.
“They should keep the awards where it is because anything that the white man decides to bring to Africa loses its value. We want to fly out of our country to go and receive the awards. That is prestige and that is what we want.
Also, the big music executives will not be attending these award events if they are held in Africa so how do we benefit? I want to win the GRAMMY and catch the eyes of big music executives like Sony Music and if GRAMMYS is now in Africa, then how do I achieve that?” he said.
Meanwhile, GRAMMYS has announced that it is expanding its frontiers to Africa.
