Afro-pop legend 9ice has ignited fresh conversations by declaring that his bold Grammy prophecy in the 2008 hit “Street Credibility” with 2Baba materialized through Burna Boy’s historic win.
The music world remembers when Burna Boy shattered ceilings as Nigeria’s first solo act to clinch the Best Global Music Album at the 2021 Grammys for “Twice As Tall.”
During a captivating appearance on The Nancy Isime Show, 9ice confronted skeptics who mocked his unfulfilled Grammy prediction, revealing an unexpected twist in his lyrical foresight.
The veteran artist passionately defended his claim, arguing his verses served as a divine roadmap for Burna Boy’s eventual triumph on music’s biggest global stage.
“When I dropped those bars about winning Grammys,” 9ice reflected, “the dream seemed impossible for Afropop artists. That’s why my words mattered – they carried the weight of prophecy.”
He added with conviction: “People ask where’s my Grammy? I say open your eyes – Burna’s trophy answers that. We made history through him.”
The musical philosopher concluded with a profound truth: “Every lyric artists create carries spiritual power. That’s why we must choose our words carefully – because music doesn’t just entertain, it manifests destinies.”
