Following the uproar among Nigerians over Davido and Burna Boy’s lack of Grammy wins, Harvey Mason Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Grammy Awards, has clarified the awarding process.
Contrary to popular belief, Mason emphasized that Grammy awards are not determined by an artist’s fan base, streaming numbers, or album sales. Instead, recipients are chosen based on merit.
In a video circulating online, Mason explained that Grammy winners are selected by the members of the Recording Academy through voting. This process involves evaluating the quality and lyrical content of an artist’s work.
Therefore, the key factors in winning a Grammy are membership in the Recording Academy and receiving votes from fellow academy members, who carefully assess the artistic merit of the nominees’ music.
