Tems triumphed over some male peers to win the Best African Music Performance award. She took a moment to celebrate her mother while accepting the honor.

In a video made by a self-proclaimed financial expert about the award, he stated that Davido cannot win a Grammy. GehGeh mentioned that the Grammy is simply using Davido to promote the award in Africa.

He also said that after Wizkid and Davido are featured, many Africans will continue to look forward to the award.

GehGeh mentioned that Drake has cautioned the award organizers regarding his work and has stopped sending in his songs for the awards.

According to GehGeh, the social media adviser, Davido was constantly expecting the award and was always enthusiastic, which is part of why he never got it.

In the recording, GehGeh said that those who don’t care about awards are often the ones who win them.

GehGeh also mentioned that if the Awuke singer wins an award, it should be a ‘gum body’ award, similar to the one Wizkid received with Beyoncé.

GehGeh pointed out that Davido’s loss will have an effect because many people see awards as a sign of talent. But the award wasn’t given for talent.

 

He recommended that Davido refrain from submitting his songs for the awards.

Aston Villa thrash Liverpool to seal Champions League spot

Aston Villa thrash Liverpool to seal Champions League spot

Ollie Watkins scored two goals and had another disallowed as Aston Villa set itself up nicely for next week’s Europa League final with a 4-2 win at home against Liverpool on Friday. The win also guaranteed Villa a place in next year’s Champions League. The win just five days before Villa faces Freiburg in the Europa League decider means Unai Emery’s side ensured a top-five finish in the Premier League. “It’s a great performance and a great way to end the season at Villa Park,” captain John McGinn told broadcaster Sky Sports “We’ve just made this club a Champions League club again, and it allows us to be excited and enjoy the game on Wednesday. Liverpool was three points behind in fifth and still sweating whether it will make it into next year’s Champions League. Liverpool had the better of the opening exchanges with Cody Gakpo seeing a goal ruled out for offside and Emiliano Martinez pushing away a swerving long-range effort from Dominik Szoboszlai. However, Villa found its composure as the half went on and took the lead three minutes before halftime. Morgan Rogers placed a perfect right-foot shot beyond the reach of Giorgi Mamardashvili after a well-worked corner kick. Virgil van Dijk’s header eight minutes into the second half brought Liverpool level but Villa started to dominate as the game opened up. Watkins had a goal chalked off for offside but made up for it just a few minutes later when he took advantage of a slip by Szoboszlai that set Villa free on the counterattack. He added a third in the 73rd when he side-footed home from point-blank range after Mamardashvili made two excellent stops. It was Watkins’ sixth goal in his last seven league games and he was a constant threat to a Liverpool rearguard that looked shaky every time Villa stormed forward. “We’ve conceded far too many games, but we also haven’t scored enough goals,” said Liverpool coach Arne Slot, who admitted his team lacked backbone after going behind in the second half. “(After) the 2-1 we crumbled, we struggled. In the end made it 4-2, so they did not give up, but we struggled to control their pace, intensity and quality.”
