The Nyau King has won the best African traditional video of the year with Chiapapapa which features Nigerian 2Face, in Watsup TV Africa Music Awards (WAMVA).
He among others went ahead of Nigerian giant Flavour, and Ghana’s renowned Clique 4X4 to take home the award. Grin has expressed gratitude to his fans for their support which has finally earned him the recognition.

The question is……”what if he didn’t?” Would you have said “Tay failed Malawians?” I’m always against the ideology that when a celebrity achives something i.e Gold/Silver/Bronze Medal or any other Award in any event, then it becomes a National Celebration/Achievement…….But when/if he did not (failed) then it becomes an individual failure (& not a Nation as a whole). This is a global pandemic. We need to console our celebrities during that time of failure and make it a National Failure/Concern. My take though, Thank u.
The thing z not all abt talent koma ndalama plus khama coz chomwe chimavuta pa Malawi pano oyimba athu alibe kuthekera kokafika komwe amakafika Tay grin
