Selfie’ hitmaker King Promise who happens to be the friend of Nigerian superstar Wizkid has jumped to the defense of his friend over his loss to Angelique Kidjo at the recently held Grammy Awards.
King Promise described Angelique Kidjo’s win at the 64th Grammy Awards as “wack’”.
According to the Ghanaian artiste his Nigerian colleague, Wizkid, worked so hard and deserved to have won the Global Music Album award which went to Angelique for her album ‘Mother Nature.’
“I just think it’s wack. No disrespect, Angelique Kidjo, legend. I love and respect her but I just think what I think, innit? Like everyone has an opinion. I don’t know what else he has to do. You know what I mean, this guy [Wizkid] has been a pacesetter,” he said in the interview with Beat FM in Nigeria.
Angelique Kidjo, for the fourth time, won the Global Music Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards after beating off competition from Ghana’s Rocky Dawuni, Daniel Ho & Friends, Wizkid with Made in Lagos: Deluxe Edition and Femi Kuti, Made Kuti with Legacy.
