@AlabiFuard_O@HonestarsenalF@PopBase Wizkid has been nominated twice in other categories, but since the start of Afrobeat category no African artist are nominated for the main categories anymore so can’t you see the damage it’s done?? You can do a rap song and still will be tagged Afrobeat 🤨
@KelvinObai28147@poppnnmysht@bigswankky I no even need insult you the way you type self proof that you’re what you are. You post songs submitted for Grammy and your dumb head don’t even know it’s done by management, it’s clear you are just Dumb and loud chasing bangers 🤡
At the edge of Scotland, there is a pub you cannot drive to.
No road takes you there.
To reach The Old Forge in Inverie, you either cross Loch Nevis by ferry from Mallaig or walk roughly 16 miles across the Knoydart Peninsula.
That is part of what makes it different.
Most travel now is built around ease. Direct flights or fast transfers. Perfect itineraries. Places that ask almost nothing from you before they give you the view, the meal, the photo, or the story.
Knoydart does not work that way.
You have to check the weather and you have to watch the ferry schedule. You have to understand that the landscape does not care about your plans.
And if you walk in, the trail makes you earn every mile.
Wet ground. Cold wind. Peat bog and silence. Mountains in every direction. The type of place where your phone becomes less useful and your attention starts working again.
Then, eventually, you see Inverie.
A small village by the water.
A white pub near the shoreline.
The warm room you crave after the cold.
That's the Old Forge.
It's known as one of Britain’s most remote pubs, but that is not the whole story.
Knoydart has a hard history, shaped by isolation, the Highland Clearances, and a community that eventually fought to take ownership of the land around them.
When The Old Forge was later put up for sale, residents and supporters stepped in again. They raised the money, brought it into community ownership, and kept the village gathering place in local hands.
That is what makes it worth writing about.
Not just the pint at the end of the journey, but the walk, the ferry, the weather, the history, and the people who decided this place was still worth protecting.
I wrote about the long road to The Old Forge and why some places mean more because they refuse to be convenient.

@AlabiFuard_O@HonestarsenalF@PopBase No but you said without the Afrobeat category which was recently added that no African artist can win that’s why I showed you 2 artist who have won long time ago before it 🤷♂️
@AlabiFuard_O@HonestarsenalF@PopBase Burna won best global music album this is different from album of the year though cos there’s an Africa woman that won this category 5x, Then Wizkid won music video of the year for his song with Beyoncé , and Wizkid got other nominations even before this Afrobeat category
@KelvinObai28147@poppnnmysht@bigswankky Did you even read what you searched 😂, and do you know that there’s something called management that handle things like this ??
@GabrielLaw40232@bigswankky You know there’s category for best album right ?? And there’s something called management that controls stuffs like this ??
This was exactly what Wizkid was trying to fight against!!
Why box people because of their region or color, it doesn’t make any sense. They are indirectly saying you people aren’t part of us but we will find somewhere to categorize you at where you belong.
@AlabiFuard_O@HonestarsenalF@PopBase Burna and Wizkid won it. Wizkid still got another nomination with his made in Lagos album and Essence but unfortunately he did not win it . The only African artists who are happy about the Afrobeat category and the ones who think it’s an easy way to win it, but it’s rubbish
