In a shocking turn of events at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles in the early hours of Monday, Nigerian music sensations, including Davido and Burna Boy, faced a disappointing defeat as they lost in all their nominated categories.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the other three Nigerian artistes nominated— Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake, also failed to make the list of winners.
Burna Boy received four nominations this year: Best Melodic Rap Performance (“Sittin’ on Top of the World” with 21 Savage), Best Global Music Performance (Alone), Best African Music Performance (City Boys) and Best Global Music Album (I Told Them).
The Nigerian music star also made history as the first Afrobeats musician to perform at the 2024 Grammys but failed to clinch any awards.
