Here Are Some Of The Best And Worst Moments Of The Grammys 2024

Best And Worst Moments Of The Grammys 2024 | Fab.ng

It was glaringly obvious that the 66th Grammy Awards was a winning affair for women. R&B singer Victoria Monét surprised everyone by winning Best New Artist, even though it had been 10 years since her first album. Taylor Swift made history as the first artist to win Album of the Year four times for her 2022 blockbuster “Midnights.” And Billie Eilish took home her second Song of the Year award for her “Barbie” ballad, “What Was I Made For?”

Famous folk goddess Joni Mitchell performed at the Grammy Awards for the first time on Sunday night, even though it has been 56 years since her debut album, 1968’s “Song to a Seagull!”  You might be surprised that she never performed there before, but you’re not alone! Many people also find it strange that she wasn’t on stage sooner, especially with all that musical talent.

The 80-year-old legend gave a special performance of her song “Both Sides, Now” after winning her 10th Grammy for Best Folk Album for her 2023 LP “Joni Mitchell at Newport [Live],” and we can all agree that it was a moment everyone will always remember.

While many achievements have been made, progress doesn’t seem equal for everyone, especially women of colour. For example, Beyoncé, despite having the most Grammys ever, has never won the top award (Album of the Year). Even her amazing album “Renaissance” didn’t win it. As her husband Jay-Z put it, “That doesn’t work!”

It’s also unfair that SZA, the most-nominated artist, didn’t win any of the most important awards. But for the record, everyone loved her performance of her hit song ‘Kill Bill!’ By the way, SZA took so long to accept her award that everyone started wondering where she was.

Moving on, It was a bit weird that Miley Cyrus was winning a Grammy for the first time. It was even more awkward that she screamed, ‘I just won my first Grammy’ during her performance of ‘Flowers’. She then went ahead to call out the crowd for not singing along to her song.

Travis Scott’s performance of songs from his album “Utopia” was a tad bit dark and confusing. He mostly stayed hidden in the shadows, and his performance didn’t feel how it probably should have. It also happened late in the show, after many other great performances, so it felt boring by the time it came on.

The Recording Academy also had everyone thinking Nicki Minaj had earned a Grammy, just for it to be an accident. Killer Mike actually won it.

Victoria Monét was cut off during her acceptance speech, which was really off.

But the grand weirdest moment of all was Killer Mike getting arrested after winning three awards. Nobody knows why yet.

OdumoduBlvck on how Don Jazzy gifted him $10,000 | fab.ng

OdumoduBlvck recently praised Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy in an interview with Beats FM.

The rapper discussed his latest project, “Nothing Changed,” a collaborative effort with the Anti-World Gangsters crew. The album features Don Jazzy on the track “Asampete.”

OdumoduBlvck revealed that after recording “Asampete,” he felt the song would benefit from Don Jazzy’s contribution. When approached, Don Jazzy readily agreed to the request.

During their meeting, Don Jazzy not only added his vocals to the song but also surprised OdumoduBlvck with a generous gift of $10,000.

Impressively, Don Jazzy declined any royalties for his contribution to the track.

“When I went to his house to get his vocals, he gave me $10,000 and even my friend was asking me why he gave me such a huge amount of money,” he narrated in the interview.

OdumoduBlvck further praised Don Jazzy, describing him as the most original personality in the Nigerian music industry and a true icon.

“There’s nobody more original than Don Jazzy…The way the younger artists look up to Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, and Olamide today is how they used to look up to Don Jazzy”.

OdumoduBlvck’s praise for Don Jazzy’s generosity and influence on the Nigerian music industry echoes sentiments expressed by numerous artists whose careers have been shaped by the Mavin Records boss.

Four-time Grammy nominee Davido has credited Don Jazzy and D’banj’s flamboyant lifestyle for inspiring him to relocate to Nigeria and pursue his musical aspirations.

Don Jazzy’s philanthropic endeavours also continue to make headlines. Recently, he donated a substantial sum of 100 million naira to Very Dark Man’s charity.

Nigerian actress and evangelist Eucharia Anunobi shared a compelling message about self-empowerment through her Instagram platform on December 19, 2024.

The Nollywood veteran directly addressed her followers in a social media post, urging them to break free from seeking external validation.

Anunobi, known for her influential roles in the Nigerian film industry, stressed that individuals should cultivate a strong sense of self-worth independent of others’ opinions.

The acclaimed actress articulated that personal growth and fulfilment stem from embracing one’s authentic self rather than conforming to societal expectations or public judgment.

In the video posted, Eucharia Anunobi enquired, “Why do you want everyone to like you? Even ice cream isn’t liked by everyone, come on.”Her post caption read,

“Seeking to be liked by all is a sign that you are emotionally and spiritually imbalanced! Some people will hate you because to hate is what gives them joy!! Because they are genetically wicked!!! So get used to not being liked!!!!1 John 5:19.”

The actress’s post ignited a flurry of reactions in her comment section, with followers expressing support and sharing their personal reflections.

Actress Sola Sobowale commented simply, “Fact.”

Other followers shared their thoughts, with one writing, “Anyone who is always seeking validation from the public whenever he or she does something, just know say that person no clear 💯.”

“Caring what people think about you is natural. Letting it drive your behaviours and keep you from doing things you believe in is usually a sign of,” said another person.

Another Instagram user shed more light on the issue, saying,

“codependency conditioning. The core belief in codependency is: what people think of me defines what I think of me. My mother always said, “Your opinion of me is none of my business.” It can get real exhausting perceiving yourself through the eyes of others. No matter how pure your intention, you cannot control how people receive you. Give others the freedom to perceive you as they wish, for it’s merely a reflection of themselves and not your reality. Never mind who sees you. Do you see you?”

“I don’t like people who wanna be liked by everyone, just do you and move on,”

“Thisss ,it’s okay to be a bad person in another persons story ,Only God is PERFECT 👍”

Elozonam Reflects On How “Japa” Makes It Hard For Him To Make Friends

Elozonam on how ‘japa’ makes it hard for him to make friends | fab.ng

Former BBNaija star and content creator Elozonam revealed how Nigeria’s “japa” syndrome—where individuals emigrate in search of better opportunities abroad—has impacted his personal relationships, especially with friends and family.

During a conversation on the Uncoloured Podcast, hosted by fellow BBNaija alum Venita, Elozonam candidly shared how his twin brother’s relocation has significantly altered their once-close dynamic.

“For my twin brother and I, being twins, we naturally used to argue a lot,” Elozonam said. “But after he left, there was nothing to fight about. Now I have to consciously reach out to him because there are days or weeks when I don’t hear from him. It’s frustrating, but I understand that everyone has to do what they need to survive and build a better life.”  

Elozonam reflected on how the japa wave has reshaped his social circle. He traced the trend back to 2018 when his former boss moved abroad with his family.

“That seemed to open the floodgates,” he said. “Since then, people have been leaving one after the other. It’s exhausting. You become hesitant to form new friendships because you don’t know if they’ll just up and leave tomorrow.” 

He expressed deep frustration about Nigeria’s deteriorating economy and infrastructure. He acknowledged that unemployment, insecurity, and poor living conditions push many Nigerians to seek better opportunities in other countries.

“Between 2018 and 2024, I’ve seen so many people leave. Nigeria isn’t improving, and everyone wants a better future. It’s hard to blame them, but it’s also hard for those of us left behind.”
