Angelique Kidjo, a Beninese musician, has disabled her Instagram comments area following internet persecution after winning a Grammy.
Mother Nature, the music star’s critically praised record, took home the award for Best Global Music Album.
After she posted a photo of herself with her prize, numerous dissatisfied individuals who weren’t thrilled about their favourite winning the honours came to her comments area and wrote disparaging remarks.
The musician was in the same category as Nigerian superstar Wizkid, Femi Kuti and son Made, Rocky Dawuni, and Daniel Ho & Friends.
