Supermodel and actress Naomi Campbell has written an open letter to the organizers of Grammy Awards following Burna Boy’s losing his slot to Angelique Kudjoe.
Naomi congratulated Angelique on her win, adding how the world appreciates and recognizes her for how she has changed lives through music.
She further talked about how Burna Boy has always not due his deserving accolades and this she thinks is because of the lack of education with regards to the genre of music the African Giant does.
“First, I want to say deepest congratulations to @angeliquekidjo for her award on Sunday, and thank you to you for spreading light and opening minds through your music… •
And to our AFRICAN GIANT, @burnaboygram… it is only due to lack of education that you have not been honored with the accolades you so truly deserve. You are always a winner in our hearts. ALWAYS. •
“And to The @RecordingAcademy,
There is something that brings joy, strength and happiness to myself, and to so many people that hear it, and it is called Afrobeats. Afrobeats is a musical genre played on mainstream and primetime radio not only across the continent of Africa, but across the world… •
“Recently, the genre was categorized into your ‘World Music’ category at the 2020 Grammys. This misrepresentation diminishes an entire genre in which such a high standard of talent has emerged; a genre that has been a force of hope and positivity for many, and a vehicle for artistry on the continent of Africa. “
