Nigerian music executive, TeeBillz, whose real name is Olatunji Balogun, has lauded Nigerian entertainers who were nominated for the recently concluded Grammy award ceremony; however, came short.
According to the talent manager, most of the nominees who were Nigerians enthralled the event that took place in Los Angeles last weekend, despite not taking home an award.
According to him, Nigerians boosted the LA economy all through the Grammy weekend, from hotels and restaurants to private jet parking, luxury Ubers, stylists, glam teams, rental cars, shopping, and more.
He reminded critics that the Grammys are run by a private organisation, not fans, and awards are not based on streams, popularity, or social media noise.
“A Grammy win simply means a group of people decided a work deserved it,” he said.

Teebillz added that while celebration is valid, criticism is also allowed, stressing that both sides can coexist without bitterness.
He wrote, “Nigerians boosted the Los Angeles economy this Grammy weekend- without winning a single award.”
Billz continued, “Hotels. Restaurants. Private jet parking. Luxury Ubers. Stylists & glam teams. Rental cars. Shopping.”
