Wizkid wins Grammy Award for 'Brown Skin Girl' alongside Beyoncé
In another post, Briefly News reported that Wizkid has won in the category of Best Music Video alongside Beyoncé for Brown Skin Girl. The reception of the award has been massive on social media with fans of both artists reacting joyously.
It should be noted that this year's edition of the awards ceremony was earlier scheduled for January but had to be shifted because of the coronavirus pandemic restrictions. Also in the best music video category were:
- Adore You by Harry Styles
- Life Is Good by Future featuring Drake
- Lockdown by Anderson Paak
- Goliath by Woodkid

"Beyoncè dropped over 9 songs in her Lion King: The Gift album, but it's Brown Skin Girl that's had the most impact. It's not a coincidence that that's the song Starboy is on."
