Breaking: The Recording Academy confirmed Wizkid did not submit Morayo or any other project for consideration at the 2026 Grammy Awards. The news surprised fans who expected the single to be entered for nomination.
Why didn’t Wizkid submit Morayo for the Grammys?
No official reason has been given by Wizkid or his team. Publicly available reports and fan discussion suggest a few possibilities: a deliberate choice to step back from awards, a focus on creative work instead of awards season, or simply missing the submission window. Until the team speaks, we don’t have a confirmed explanation.
Did Wizkid ever win a Grammy?

Yes. Wizkid is a Grammy winner. He took home a trophy for his collaboration with Beyoncé on Brown Skin Girl (part of the 2021 recognitions). That win remains part of his international achievements.
Are fans disappointed that he skipped submissions?
Many fans expressed disappointment and felt Morayo deserved a shot at Grammy consideration. Other fans said awards don’t change Wizkid’s status and argued this move shows confidence — or simply reflects priorities beyond trophies.
“Wizkid doesn’t need the Grammys; the Grammys need Wizkid.”
“He could have submitted it — Morayo was special.”
Can an album or song be nominated without being submitted?
No. The Recording Academy requires official submission for works to be eligible. Without submission during the entry period, a track won’t show up on ballots and can’t be nominated for that year.
What does this mean for Wizkid’s career?
Not much in the long run. Wizkid’s global fanbase, streaming numbers, tours, and brand deals keep him among Africa’s top exports. Skipping Grammy submissions won’t erase his influence or chart power.
