The Recording Academy, organizers of Grammy Awards, has referred Nigerian afrobeat superstar, Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, as an ‘up-and-coming artiste’.
Gists9ja reports that the American award organizers in a post via their Instagram story, asked about the up-and-coming Black artiste everyone should have on their radar.
The post read: “Who is an up-and-coming Black artist everyone should have on their radar?”
In response to the question, the recording academy wrote Wizkid’s name under the post.
The description is no doubt demeaning and disrespectful, especially as Wizkid is considered one of the most successful music artistes in Africa.
