In the latest episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, CKay shared his disappointment at being turned down by some of his colleagues when he approached them for collaboration opportunities.

Expressing his confusion over the lack of recognition for ‘Love Nwantiti’ in Nigeria despite its massive international acclaim, CKay expressed skepticism towards awards ceremonies, both domestic and international.

Reflecting on his experiences, CKay stated, “I have my reservations about awards in general. Because I feel there’s so much involved. And the people who run the awards, I don’t know them or their motives. I have seen so many situations where music that is deserving doesn’t get any recognition. Not just the Grammys, even [Nigerian awards] back home.”

He continued, “It’s interesting that ‘Love Nwantiti,’ which is 6x platinum, has received no award in Nigeria. I don’t know if I would use the word shameful. It’s interesting because it begs so many questions. That’s why I have my reservations about awards.”

CKay further lamented the challenges he faced in seeking collaborations within the Nigerian music industry, despite his efforts to reach out to other artists. He expressed disappointment over the reluctance of some individuals to collaborate with him, even after the success of ‘Love Nwantiti.’
