Ayra stated that she would not celebrate such a win indicating that women have put so much efforts into their craft to be presented an award which is supposed to recognize their efforts off stage and not at the main event itself.

She shared, ‘I will never be grateful for winning a category that wasn’t even deemed fit to be announced on stage ! Best female artist na beans ? We work hard, every single one of us ! I’ve seen Tiwa record 4 hit songs in the same night , Tems breaths and lives for music , we didn’t deserve such nonchalance! Nigeria , you didn’t raise me to settle for less’
