Grammy organizers cancel pre- and post-awards events to support Los Angeles fire victims

Grammy organizers cancel pre- and post-awards events to support Los Angeles fire victims.

The Grammy Awards’ host, Universal Music Group, has declared that all activities before and following the ceremony would be canceled.
Redirecting resources to aid those impacted by the horrific wildfires in Los Angeles, California, was the decision.

The organization thanked first responders and emergency personnel for their tireless efforts in a statement posted on Instagram. Additionally, they recognized that many members of the music community reside in Los Angeles and emphasized their dedication to helping musicians, teams, and locals impacted by the wildfires.

The after-Grammy celebration and artist showcase are among the events that have been canceled. This action is taken as more than 180,000 people are being forced from their homes by the ongoing flames that are destroying Los Angeles.

The flames have impacted Nigerian celebrities, such as reality TV personality Faith Morey and actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde. Faith Morey posted a terrifying video of her 20-minute evacuation experience, while Omotola, who lives in the US, recently returned to Nigeria after leaving her city.

Nigeria has a strong relationship with the Grammy Awards, since artists such as Burna Boy and Wizkid have already won the coveted honor; yet, the cancellation was required.
