A popular Nigerian rapper, Jesse Garba Abaga popularly known as Jesse Jagz has expressed confidence on winning Grammy.
Jagz speaking in a recent interview with newsmen said he is confident of winning Grammy because ‘nothing is impossible’
According to him, he would certainly join the sparse list of Nigerian artistes who have won a Grammy.
Revealing the sole reason he’d be bringing home the first Grammy award to Jos, the town he grew up, the “God on the Mic” rap star claimed it was because it belonged to him.
Jagz, who’s the younger brother to popular rapper MI, also noted it would be an avenue to show critics that anything is possible.
The 38-year-old entertainer said: “The fucking Grammy…., it’s mine. I own it! I’m going to bring it to Jos and show them that it’s possible. Grammys straight!!
