This caused quite a stir by fans worldwide and generated a lot of controversy as many believed he was well deserving of the awards in both categories.
Asides being nominated twice at the recently concluded Grammys, the Made in Lagos singer also won the award for Best Music Video for the song, Brown Skin Girl featuring Beyoncé, Saint Jhn and Blue Ivy at the 63rd Grammy Awards.
