He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Tems deserves praise for bringing the Best African Music Performance Grammy back to Nigeria, and it is good to see a Nigerian who always speaks well of her country achieve the rare honour of being a double Grammy winner.
Reno added that if other artistes learn from Temilade, maybe they will have their own Grammy to boast of.
His words, “Congratulations, Tems, and thank you for bringing the Best African Music Performance Grammy back to Nigeria. It is so delightful that a proud Nigerian who always speaks well of her country has achieved the rare honour of being a double Grammy winner. We are happy for and with you, Tems. If only others can learn from you, they may have their own Grammy to boast of.
To Win a Grammy As a Nigerian Artiste, Associate With a Nigerian Flag, Not The Flag of a Colonial Oppressor, Otherwise Your Ambition Will Be in Shambles!
When you praise the flag and image of your country, Providence will raise your swag and visage to a Grammy!”
WOW.
