Wizkid blasts organizers who give African artist awards backstage

Superstar, Wizkid has spoken against international award organisers who give awards to African artists backstage.

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.

The singer spoke in response to a reporter at a press conference:

“This is why I don’t go for those shows…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”.
