Chika won her first-ever GLAAD Award Thursday night during the 32nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Ahead of the ceremony, organizers took to Twitter to announce the
Industry Games artist won Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist.
“What can I say? I deserve it,” said Chika with a smirk during her acceptance speech. “I work hard. Me and only me, I don’t have a team, I don’t have parents. I was forged under a tree, and then fire.”
“I made it here by the Northern winds, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to sit here and sing these songs and not give anyone credit, especially the people who gave birth to me and my management,” she continued. “So thank you guys, from Chika and Chika only, not Warner, and not the band behind me. Just me.”

GLAAD have unveiled its 2021 nominations for the 32nd annual GLAAD Media Awards ahead of a visual ceremony in April 2021.
Ryan Murphy led the pack with six of his projects nominated, five of which were Netflix releases. These included
The Prom,
Circus of Books and
Ratched. Last year, he had two projects nominated and won the covered Vito Russo Award.
Murphy responded to the GLAAD nomination nods on Instagram: “In the past year alone, my company has not only created content that has shined a spotlight on hundreds of LGBTQ characters, but we have employed hundreds of out LGBTQ actors; who as little as five years ago would probably have been advised that being authentically who they were meant no more jobs.”
