Wizkid has blasted international award organisers who give awards to African artists backstage.
The singer in the past three years have won a number of international honours including the iHeart awards, BET, MTV Europe Music Awards, the MOBOs and more.
Most international awards have categories for African acts but the trend for most of these awards is to give the African awards backstage, away from the main show.
“This is why I don’t go for those shows,” Wizkid said in response to a reporter. “…that is what I do, I don’t take nonsense from anyone trying to look down on Africa.”
“If you are not going to show us the same love you show your international artists, if you are not going to show us that same love on the main stage, then don’t show us any love at all, we don’t want it. We have ours, and we are content with our own people,” he stressed.
Wizkid recently beat Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B and others to win the Best International Act award at the just ended Music of Black Origin ( MOBO ) Awards.
