He made this statement following discussions about Burna Boy’s recent Grammy win in Nigeria.
Joshua, contributing to the never-ending debate, has said that award shows like the Grammys, when received, are just “recognition from the other side” and that awards do not guarantee financial freedom. He said that the legendary Michael Jackson died poor after winning several awards.
According to him, musicians like Sarkodie and Stonebwoy have also received major awards such as BET Awards, a feat that can be compared to the Grammys.
“It’s just an award that, when given to you, shows that you are being recognized from the other side,” he said. told Sedi on VOV Radio during an interview. “It’s only after Burna Boy won a Grammy and it has become a problem. But Sarkodie won the BET, it’s a big problem; Stonebwoy won the BET, it’s a big deal. “
“Kuami Eugene and Dope Nation won at AFRIMA; Stonebwoy and Sarkodie have won great prizes in Africa. So when people make it seem like without a Grammy award, you haven’t worked as an artist, it doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like it’s just a Grammy award, which means you’ve accomplished something as a musician. “
Comparing awards to riches, said “Good Mood” hitmaker “… But Michael Jackson won several awards but later in life he became poor. Yes, after all the awards he won, later he even sold his house because he became poor. “
“Sometimes it shouldn’t be that winning a certain award makes you rich or successful. You have to keep doing the work and when the Grammys come it’s a bonus. “
“When you win prizes and are hungry, will you eat them?” I ask. “You need to focus on the money aspect and make money with what you do, that’s the most important thing. It’s not about awards. The prizes are just the icing on the cake. But winning with money is more important. “
