BREAKING: Wizkid loses Grammy award

Two Nigerians lost at the 59th annual Grammy Awards which took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday (Monday morning in Nigeria).

Pop star, Wizkid, who was nominated in the Album of the Year category for his contribution in Drake’s Views, lost to Adele’s 25.

Another Nigerian, Kah-Lo, nominated in the Best Dance Recording category for her vocal performance in ‘Rinse & Repeat’ by Riton, lost to The Chainsmokers’ ‘Don’t Let Me Down’

A total of 84 awards were handed to the music industry’s best and brightest.

The major awards were handed out during the televised broadcast, but many were handed out before the big show began.

The biggest winner of the night was Adele, who took home five Grammys to become the first person ever to win the double treble; that is scooping the song, record and album of the year hat-trick twice.

Chance the Rapper took home three trophies, including Best New Artist.

David Bowie’s Blackstar — released just two days before the singer passed away on January 10, 2016 — earned five.
