GRAMMYS OR SCAMMYS????


The nominations for the 2024 Grammy Music Awards were announced on October 10, 2023. The annual Grammy Awards premiere ceremony is set to take place on the 4th of February 2024, at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles. However, the state of nominees has been a subject of diverse opinions as it has left many dissatisfied. Several deserving artists were snubbed in major categories or even worse, shut out of the ceremony entirely. Let's take a look at some talented artists that were snubbed by the Grammys.


  1) PESO PLUMA

While Latin music has been dominating the pop charts, it is unfortunate that it did not receive recognition in the top four categories. It would have been great to see Peso Pluma, the artist who introduced traditional Mexican music to the mainstream and gained international fame this year, nominated for the Best New Artist category. Perhaps in the future, the music industry can work towards becoming more inclusive and diverse in its recognition of talent.

 

2) MORGAN WALLEN

It's worth noting that Morgan's exclusion from the nominations for Song or Record of the Year came as a surprise to many, given that he is one of America's top recording artists, and his album held the top spot on Billboard's Top Country Album chart for an impressive 28 weeks. While Wallen's "Last Night" was the best-selling song of the year and was deservedly nominated for Best Country Song, it's important to remember that the award goes to the songwriters, and as Wallen wasn't a credited writer, he didn't share in that award. Nonetheless, the artists have achieved significant success, and it's exciting to see such talented performers contributing to the music industry.

 

3) JIMIN AND JUNGKOOK OF BTS

It's unfortunate to note that the Grammys have once again overlooked the contribution of K-pop music. However, it's encouraging to see that despite the repeated snubs, BTS members have earned solo hits, and it's high time that the Grammys recognize their achievements. Jimin with "Like Crazy" and Jungkook with "Seven" (featuring Latto) were both eligible for the Record of the Year, and their exclusion is a glaring oversight. It’s time for the Grammys to acknowledge the immense talent that K-pop music brings to the table and give it the recognition it deserves.

 

The Grammys have overlooked some of the most talented artists this year, including Pink Panthress, Raye, Karol G, Zach Bryan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Rema. These artists have poured their hearts and souls into their music, and they deserve recognition for their hard work. As fans, it's up to us to amplify their voices and show the world what they're capable of. Let's support these artists by streaming their music, attending their concerts, and spreading the word about their talent. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that these artists get the recognition they deserve.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM. Faculties were paired and assigned topics: the Faculty of Administration and Science had the topic "Corrupt Democracies are Preferable to Dictatorships"; the Faculty of Agriculture and Dentistry debated on the topic "Subsidy is a Necessary Compromise of the Government, and Should be Implemented in Areas of Essential Public Domains"; the Faculty of Arts and Technology had the topic "Civil Disobedience is a Moral Wea...

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
