Media personality reacts to Rema's exclusion from Grammy nomination list
Nigerian UK-based media personality Adesope, aka Shopsydoo, reacted to the recently released 2024 Grammy Awards nomination list.
Legit.ng had reported that Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide, among others, made the nomination list.
However, Shopsydoo, in a live video, expressed disappointment over Divine Ikubor Rema's absence from the list.
He said: "My disappointment stems from the fact that Rema did not receive a Grammy nomination, despite the fact that other Global artists like as Asake, Fireboy, Olamide, Davido, and Burna Boy did."
It turns out Rema was likely excluded from the list because his hit song Calm Down, including the remix with Selena Gomez, was released in 2022.
