It is official, we can now call Adele ‘Queen of Music’!!!! She is now the first person to win Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Song Of The Year twice.  Adele won five prizes in all, including Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance. When Adele picked up the Grammy award for best album she said Beyonce deserved it more. The pop star was given the night’s top honour for her multi-million selling record 25, but told the audience, “I can’t possibly accept this award. I’m very humbled and I’m very grateful, but Beyonce is the artist of my life”. Adele’s 25 was by far the biggest-seller on this year’s shortlist; outselling Beyonce’s Lemonade by a factor of 10 to 1. It is unclear if Adele will officially reject her award. Chicago’s Chance The Rapper also took three prizes, including best rap album for his self-released record Coloring Book. Rock icon David Bowie won in each of the five categories he was nominated for, including best alternative album, for Blackstar, and best rock performance, for the album’s title track. Beyonce  took home best urban contemporary album and best music video, for the politically-charged Formation. The full list of winners from the 59th annual Grammy Awards:

Ruger and Bnxn tell Apple Music about their Joint Album, ‘RnB’

Bnxn: This project shows synergy at its finest.
Ruger: 100.
Bnxn: It shows quality, it shows the real essence of collaboration – how to bounce off each other, how to learn from each other, how to pick this and flow off what this person [did]. It’s like a relay race—
Ruger: 100!
Bnxn: —but we’re only coming first, you feel me. You gotta understand from the beginning to the end of every record, it’s a crazy collaborative process, from the artists to the producers, so I am beyond proud of this project. It’s why the last song we said “Not Done,” because hopefully…
Ruger: Hopefully we’re not done!

You know most Afrobeats artists, they’re always about gyration, enjoyment – let’s make songs people will party to, let’s talk about enjoyment and money and that. We’re talking about everything! Go back to our projects, we talk about everything, we talk about relationships. Most artists in Naija don’t talk about relationships like that, they talk about ‘your body’s banging, you’re fine, you’re this’ but we’re saying the deeper things. As much as the whole world is appreciating that part, I think Nigerians have to actually appreciate that about us, because when we go outside the country that’s what they love about us. “That guy is speaking to me!”

“We’re very excited for the return of The Real Housewives of Nairobi in May.

We’re very keen to bring out the opulence that Nairobi and Kenya has to offer while maintaining the excitement and intrigue that makes The Real Housewives what it is.”
