According to our sister blog NigeriaShowBiz.Com, Nollywood Star Actress Omotola Ekeinede appeared on the redcarpet of the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards which was held on 13th February,2011 at Staples Center in LA.
Omotola’s appearance at the Grammy Awards is making a lot of buzz on the internet. Apart from the fact that she is the 1st Nollywood Actress to make a red carpet appearance which has created the buzz, it came as a big surprise to most Nigerians and African movie lovers.
Prior to Sunday, if anyone was to be tipped for Grammy Awards’ red carpet appearance from Nollywood, Genevieve Nnanji would have been the name on the lips of the majority. It seems Omotola has stolen the game and swagger from Genevieve by making the first appearance.
Now let’s fast forward to the hub of this post. Omotola has made it to Grammy Awards unexpectedly and has graced the red carpet with her beauty and glamour. Which Ghanaian Actress do you honestly believe can follow up with a Grammy appearance?
If I am asked to pick 3 Actresses from Ghana with the swag, glamour and media hype to appear at next year’s Grammy, I will not hesitate to mention in ascending order; Yvonne Nelson, Jackie Appiah and Martha Ankomah.
Do I even have to tell you why I have picked these 3? Remember securing a Grammy Awards red carpet appearance has little to do with talent. If anything at all, I think media hype, glamour, connection and recognition have enough influence.

Nice for her. Now let’s see who can grace the Red Carpet of the Oscars
Well, well here we go again…FYI there’s one Ghanaian girl with 2 Oscars under her belt for her excellent contribution in Hollywood, and the other for her creativity in how screenplays are viewed by WGA. You guys are soo boring! gesh Africans should really open their damn eyes. What’s the big deal about standing behind the free press area any ways? Gosh
The first 300 people are selected to walk on the red carpet every year, Including honorees and their quests! Where she’s standing is the free press area, so far as you are in the first 300 sits you can walk around there without any pass. Gosh villagers! Educate yourself cause this is really embarrassing for Africans. Ticket cost only 150 to stand at where she is so please give us a fucking break! Genevieve is in a whole new class so please don’t even go there.!
Another ignorant person on here. you think you can buy a grammy ticket just like that n go on red carpet ? who lied to u?
This is not ignorant she is telling the truth.
Dela i won’t even wast time on you cuz you don’t know shit! how the fuck do you think the ticket are sold huh? Even the Oscars tickets are sold. All one needs to do is contact then with credit card or check to get your ticket you stupid fool. If you don’t
know about something you speak about it you idiot!
@ Dela you are a fool!
Love your response…good one
Good one there. Africansa will always be Africans
erm, why the agression Manishy? I said is was nice for her. So what’s the problem.
Hmm btw may Genevieve is more focused on making it to the Oscars and not the grammy.
@ kr, LOL. that was a good one.
Best comment so far nice one kr
i think jacky will make it there !
it’s the grammy’s…anybody can make an appearance at the grammys…not to down play omotola and all…i truly love her, but its not that serious…nigerians and some africans seem to be so hype abt american stuff…WHY? the other day i saw d’banj music video featuring snoop dogg…i mean is it dat serious…good for her…i dnt care wat ghana star goes to the grammy’s or even the oscars…her dressing to the grammy’s is not even presentable…i mean come on, its the grammy’s not a nollywood award ceremony…
but then again, a star quality to the grammy’s will be NADIA and LYDIA FORSON…but i also like how omo created a buzz for herself…sometimes its good to keep ur mouth shut intil things actually go down…still love her though, but her dressing to the grammy’s is not good
Nadia what? When was the last time that girl did anything big to even get a local media attention, let alone international grammy attention.
Can’t you see the girl’s career is dead and gone? She is even struggling to get movie roles in Ghana with some of the cheap movies even. Are you out of touch that much?
NO i can’t see her career is dead…that is ur wish for her life…but it has failed…go watch wrong number, crazy scandal, and i believe G.C just posted two movies with NADIA in it…so really, who is out of touch now? u r late, and nadia keeps shinning…how many articles has G.C also posted abt nadia both 2010 and 2011 respectively…go do ur research before coming to hate on the poor girl…DAMN, i love it when yall attack NADIA…it simply shows how much u all hate her…but who cares…SHE DON’T…and i dnt either…but in my opinion, I SEE NADIA MAKING IT TO ANY RED CARPET…i mean look at how the girl present herself at any social event….enough said….good day
Your talking about someone career been dead but where do you stand people like you just make me sick make me want to puke on your fore Sqaure head or is it because she was talking about Nadia ain’t she a human as well repesenting the same country come on I don’t no what stone age your from but you need to wise up and stop that childish thing now and grow up for once
Nadia career is dead, u say? Have u forgotten, she once made it and fall.
Time changes, and life is full of surprises. It might surprise u, she would probably make til there. When it comes to artiste and actors, never say their carrer is dead.
lmaoooo dts funny
Sweety u HATE NADIA so much that it can kill u one day,,,You are so sickening with your ways,,,,,,,,Pls the gal is bigger than all these lofo lofos that u are praising here,,,,,,Nadia is way better than a lot ’em all…
I agree with you lily but I would say add yvonne Okro to it aswel
true true, forgot all abt yvonne…yep, her too
Yeah,,,,,,,,I think in the list of 3 mentioned, Jackie must be replaced by Nadia and also add Lydia to make them 4 or better yet leave Jackie to make a list of 5…. lol
You must be living in the cave, who told you anybody can make it to the grammy’s red carpet? Why have you not made it there then?
Do you know what it takes to make grammy red carpet appearance? You paaa!
It is really a big deal, with international media attention on such carpet is the biggest publicity I can think of.
Stop hating and what is wrong with what she is wearing? Jealosy!
HUH? madam go away…jealous of what….u r da one living in a cave…have u seen the grammy pix…have u seen the ppl dat goes to the grammys…no seriously, those audience at the grammy’s, do u think all of them are celebrities? go somewhere with urself…even if i am jealous with omosexy, there is nothing wrong with that because she is one of my nollywood favorite actresses…but I am not…wateva makes her happy is cool with me…so again, go somewhere with ur silly insults…i am not in the mood for it…seek attention somewhere else…but her dressing to me wasn’t good…so LEAVE IT AT THAT…thanx
u right aba her dress. she should have waer something more decent. she should’nt present herself like the americans.
her dress is really not cute. i mean she should dress in a way that represent her african culture and not dress like american’s.
I agree with u, i thought she was nominated for something. Everybody can go to the grammys, so i dont see any big deal abt this
Would def. agree if you say Yvonne Nelson and Martha appearing at a grammys through connection.Well, am saying this cuz I kinda feel they have that desperate spirit in them.Nadia Buari/Yvonne Okorro could be the next to appear officially.The girl is too classy(Okorro)Well, Jackie, I dont know, she could also cuz She is kinda well known by lots of prominent people.
Nice one Adjoa real talk
oh Adwoa Nbaaso), so you mean Yvonne N & Martha are desperate? or they only have the desperate spirit.?
Well BB. Lets say they are desperate and determined at the same time.Thanks Odo Miyagi..lol
Hollywood, hollywood hollywood….. , why can’s Ghanaian make ghollywood for outsiders to come too……..
what a big question ,i like it..eheee
first we need tht name change b4 we even think of outsiders but a thinkabke Question tho i like tht.
Gholly what? you people are very funny! why ghollywood? why can’t you guys come up with a better name. Gish! This is really sad! The only Ghanaian Actress that will go far is Yvonne Okoro. Period! She is one of very few actresses that have been selected around the global to represent Africa on a world wide platform so please spare us with those other names.
@ val, ask that again. why cant they………….
i disagree my 3 wuld hve 2 be jackie nadia or luckie lawson
#1.lol.nadia buari /yvonne okoro/ martha ankoma….
we try so hard to be like them but truth is, we can never be like them…#real talk.
@ zion….who & who try so hard to be like them & who & who can never be like them ? ahhh think positive …one step at a time ok ?
it’s just the grammys anybody can go to the grammys, even though i love omotola, who cares who goes next .
One Ghanaian who i know will make it to the Grammys is Jackie Appiah.
One? and is only your Jackie Appiah? I think you must on Pepto bismol or Palah cause that bitch is still gonna be in Ghollywood like Alaba Stamp.
lol hahaha im on both weapon!!
I love omotolla but her dress is not a good one for that occasion. She should have worn something better
BWAAAAHAHAAHAAAHAHAAAHAAAHAHAAA,,,,,,,,,,,,DOUBLE LOL
@ Weapon-X, did u really say “Alaba Stamp”? eeeiiiii wo L ne R y3 wo plobrem……….LMBAO
Nah B, ain’t got no proplem..lol….I was just messing with Maame. Was-up Maame…ha.
what is she wearing..lol
She went to Grammy and took her “Grammy’s pic infront of Staples?? WTH?
It would have been nice to see her on E! Online Grammy’s red carpet talking to Ryan Seacrest ( I know that may be ambitious but hey she may just get that recognition)…………I say she looked better than Rihanna and Nicky Minaj in their dresses at the Grammy’s…………Omosexy looks great……………….
@big mouth dude did someone knock you a blue eye or what she looks better than who and sexier or is your mouth that big that you might not have seen it probably
Omotola looked better than dressed Rihanna and Nicki Minaj at the grammys and that is my opinion…did you watch the grammys?…did you see Nicki Minaj’s ugly leopard print ” out fit? or Rihanna’s ugly gown on the red carpet??? Please Mr. Miyagiiiiiiiiii you are the one who seems blind…………..
Thx
Very disappointed with Omotola’s dress. This is low class, unsophisticated, cheap, ugly, too tight, poor coulor coordination and a mis-representation of African movie stars.What was she thinking wearing that garbage of a dress at the Grammy awards, did she think she was attending one of the Nigerians or Ghanaian red carpets? ..Humm unbelievable.
did you see her hair? i dont think she was really on the red carpet the way it is done…..if Joan Rivers had seen her…what am i even talking about???…Joan wouldnt even know her. Anyway, at least she was able to get to the staples center and see the grammys i hope…. But ones hair speaks a lot about ones personality….especially for a celebrity too. she should check it next time. Naija actresses are in the unfortunate habit of walking around with bad hair. Its just gotta stop!
@Chandler aitkins are you a naija boy is so than your the first Nigerian boy that has spoken well here and the truth not like Syn or others
Nadia can easily and perfectly make it to the Grammy awards
U re a joker . Nadia begs for invite to ghana music awards even and she does not get. she pays fully to be there. no one even notice her presence and u are saying she can make it to grammy? you must be on some lsd or weed.
LMAO. LSD or WEED paaaa?
grammy is about music industry and it happened that omotola has been trying her hands in music lately.she has to be there to make some contact if she could .genny is not in music, and moreover ,if you have some friends or contact you can also attend.it does not have anything to do with winning hereover genny.all the same ,iam happy that africans are making headway.ihave no congratulations to say b/c she just attended an event.
Try and get your facts well. Genny was into music way back before omotola so what re u talking about? only on gc that peoole flaunt their ignorance
You are all entitled to your opinions, but pls watch what you say to one another.
and who are you? the supposed adviser on GC?
@ BB BB you are always sounding insulting, why? you need to slow down boy
c’mon Missy, i only asked a question. me, i dont do insults.
@Missy did you just call B.B a boy hmmmm I don’t think she will appreciate that
Omosexy is my big fan but you have put on much weight now, why?
i checked a pix on nigeriafilms.com and i could not believe you really have four kids. Indeed, you were sexy. C’mon girl, hit the gym. Also, your attire did not fit the occassion at all. why? my girl. Please do it right the next time
all i see is a desperate over grown mother of 4 , trying soo hard to be known by anyone who cares even if she has to stand infront of burger king or kfc , it doesn’t matter to her, so peeps ,allow auntti omosexsex lol
hahahah ..goodies u crazy ..lol well infact she is a role model to women and mothers out there ..that we women can make still with husband and children ..thats what i admire abt her …i like her ambitions …..
so u r saying mothers shd aspire to dress like this??? i think not! role model for the where?? her ambitions seems too desperate to me though ,
not mothers to dress so ..but mothers and wife to be ambitious like the way she is …its becos her job that makes her dress so ….. she is a public figure remember? but other mothers with children and husband wouldnt need to do so if their job doesnt require it ….but at least they can look up to her ambitions …
@ goodies, omg, u r soo funny.
and by the way , the dress is so tacky! damn it!
yeah Omosexy did make an appearance on the redcarpet.it’s not a matter of competition with Gene.Anyways what did she put on and what’s sexy about her? i trust my Gene if she were the one to grace the redcarpet imagine the sensation it could have caused. she’s still one of my best though!!!!!!
you gene?? lol
well gud 4 her…… i think nadia n yvonne nelson could be next
De perfect ghanaian to walk de red carpet will b Nadia Buari..awwww de gurl got de talent,beauty,glamour n bl3 aka brofo…I just love her..I pray Genevive exceeds too..
yea Nadia got great sense of fashion too ..as well as Genny and it would be nice to see them grace any hollwoood events oneday ….
thx mother..4 once sum1 has agreed wit me ant Nadia….lol
yvonne nelson got the shape and talent to go to red carpet you people should see how she talk and walk the girl get spornk in him she is a good actor thrust me i have retied so i have time and at home and watch everything peace
Who really care as to who attend wat? afterall she didn’t pick up any award did she??????????????
Well done to Omotola, i think she looks great and this can only serve to better her career as she will be moving and networking with the right people for if all the so called celebs that have been mentioned here should have been there then they would have been because so many claim to want to make to Holloywood. Best of Luck to her! She looks great.
Go omosexy, go omosexy!…. awww, I’m lovin dis dress.. u guyz dat are saying dat u can jst buy a ticket 2 attend d grammies, why didn’t u attend? idiots!!
You can buy fashion but you got to have style and you clearly don’t have none of that how you going to come here and call people idiots because they speaking their mind
I agree with u Vincent, Jackie/Yvonne has more media hype and some swagger to go along with, btw who advised OMO to wear this number? I mean how can u stand next to BEy or RIh on the red carpet looking like that, its horrible. The lace front weave looks crooked, her tummy is protruding, she looks fat, men, Omo she lost this one.
Ghana celebrities owner and his team are the most bush and illiterate ghanaian blog i have ever known – why is omotola being at the grammys relevant – anybody can be a visitor on the grammys – she is very irrelevant here in usa. Nkwasiasfuo eni nkruasifuor nkua na gu the team of Ghana . You guys are such illiterates – your topics here are so foolish is beyond words. I dont respect you guys and yes this is my last day here – I dont respect anyone who reads this site either , Omotola Beat blah blah blah – Egyimifuor
