2022 Grammys: Wizkid loses out in both categories he’s nominated
The 2022 Grammy awards aired on Sunday, April 3 on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+ as scheduled.
Trevor Noah, the American comedian, as announced, returned to host the ceremony for the second year in a row.
Wizkid was put up in the ‘Best Global Music Performance’ category for ‘Essence’, his collaboration with Tems.
Wizkid’s ‘Made In Lagos’ and ‘Legacy +’ by Femi and Made Kuti were up in the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category.
However, Wizkid lost to Kidjo, the Beninese singer, in the first category, and to Arooj Aftab, a Pakistani vocalist, in the second.
Wizkid had also won a Grammy in 2021 for ‘Best Music Video’ following his work in Beyonce’s ‘Brown Skin Girl’.
The 2022 Grammys is a return to normalcy after two years of postponed, remote, and cancelled award shows.
It’s also the first the Grammys held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, rather than New York and Los Angeles.
