Wizkid finally congratulates Angelique Kidjo on Grammy win

Wizkid, the Afrobeats singer, has finally congratulated Angelique Kidjo, the Beninese singer, for her win at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

On Sunday, Wizkid lost the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category to Kidjo. The ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner was also unable to claim the ‘Best Global Music Performance’ category, which was won by Arooj Aftab, the Pakistani vocalist.

The singer’s Grammy loss had sparked a wave of criticism among his fans on social media with some celebrities also calling out the Recording Academy.

Naomi Campbell, the British actress cum model, had also lashed out at the organisers of the Grammy Awards, claiming the ‘Made In Lagos’ album and ‘Essence’ were placed in the wrong categories.

But about 48 hours after the Grammys, Wizkid took to his Instagram Stories to congratulate Kidjo and Black Coffee for their wins at the award ceremony.
