Popular disc jockey, Jimmy Jatt, has chided Nigerian artistes that snub local award shows, saying that they are suffering from ‘colonial mentality’.

The 55-year-old entertainer, on Friday, made the statement in reaction to the absence of many Nigerian artistes at the 2021 All Africa Music Awards in Lagos.

He said; “I think it is the colonial mentality that is still worrying a lot of our people.

“When it is western world inviting you, even if it is an award in a smallest room, they are always quick to go and would probably arrive four days before the award.
