According to Reggie Rockstone, a typing error might have caused the Grammys to omit the popular Ghanaian music genre (Hiplife) from its brand-new Best African category recently created. <\/p>\n

During a recent Twitter Spaces which was hosted by Kwame Dadzie and included Reggie Rockstone, Reggie said it was disappointing that the Grammys\u2019 Recording Academy had ignored the genre that had given many Ghanaian artists notoriety.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere is another thing that came up. A lot of times when people talk about hiplife and highlife they get confused. So somebody said to me \u2018Reggie, it could have been a typo. So many times people have confused hiplife with highlife because they sound so similar.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cAll the same, I am happy that we are in there because it could have gone the other way but it definitely became an eyebrow raiser when I realised the old lady hiplife wasn\u2019t in there. The old lady\u2019s grandmama is in there. That\u2019s highlife. Even Mapouka is in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHiplife is what sparked the revolution and you can also go back and check before the re-emergence of Afrobeats with the \u2018s\u2019. And Nigeria knows this. We\u2019ve always parlayed. We are cousins but you can never do without the old lady hiplife. You gotta be joking,\u201d Reggie Rockstone said.<\/p>\n
