Angélique Kidjo rocks African print as she wins her 2nd Grammy

Singer-songwriter and activist from Benin Republic Angélique Kidjo wore this lovely African print to the Grammy Awards in LA yesterday Feb. 8th where she won her 2nd Grammy for 'World Music Album' for her album, "Eve". The 54 year old dedicated the award to the women of Africa.
"This album is dedicated to the women of Africa -- to their beauty and resilience. Women of Africa -- you rock!. For me, music is a weapon of peace, and today more than ever, as artists we have a role to play in the stability of this world," Kidjo said as she accepted the award at a ceremony in LA. Congrats to her. More photos after the cut...

A Yoruba woman from Republic of Benin. But she should have dedicated her Grammy awards to the Chibok Girls.

Where are our nigerian musicians who believe it is only by singing party songs you can make it in music...the only inspiring musicians in nigeria that can win a grammy are 2face, Asa and jessa jagz!!

Its like you're drunk or high on some cheap drugs. Yes she's wearing & rocking the African prints (Ankara) with her Grammy award. What can you show for yourself?
