Popular Nigerian singer, Abolore Adigun, aka 9ice, has said that contradictory to public opinion, he never pledged to his fans to win a Grammy award for them.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he said,
“People are getting it wrong.
I didn’t promise anyone a Grammy award; I promised myself.
promised myself a lot of things.
I promised myself a Music of Black Origin award and I received it.
promised myself to be one of the most reckoned with artistes and I’ve achieved that.
The Grammy-award has been one of my targets.
There is a Yoruba adage that says, ‘Ba o ku, ise o tan’ which literally means, ‘If there is life, anything can still happen’.
I’m still doing music and who says I cannot get it (Grammy award) tomorrow?
I still have that belief and I know God will do it for me.”
