Yemi Alade, a Nigerian Afropop musician, took to Twitter to explain why Beninese great Angelique Kidjo’s “Mother Nature” album won Best Global Music Album at the 64th Grammy Awards event.
Angelique Kidjo, according to Anaedoonline.ng, beat out four Nigerian artists, including Wizkid with his Made In Lagos Deluxe album, Femi and Made Kuti with Legacy + album, and Burnaboy, who were all nominated in the same category.
Yemi Alade, who won a Grammy for her work with Angelique Kidjo, believes Kidjo’s Mother Nature record deserved to win the Best Global Music Album prize at the 64th Grammy Awards.

The singer made this known by retweeting a post on Twitter by @PapiWater, explaining that “Mother Nature” celebrated Africans’ uniqueness and victims of the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria and climate change.
The post read, “Angelique Kidjo dropped an album in which the headline song talked about the dangers of climate change-induced disasters (that the West is worried about) and how it will impact Africa more but you are wondering why she won a Grammy for that body of work.
“Stop playing. Please take your time to listen to the album. Listen to Africa, One of a Kind and Mother Nature. Drop your Pangolo expectations before you listen to them so you can enjoy good music”
