Burna Boy, Davido bag a clean sheet in Grammy Awards

Nigerian Afrobeats icon Burna Boy and fellow artist Davido both failed to secure a Grammy award in their respective categories at the 2024 ceremony.

Despite a historic performance by Burna Boy, the evening ended with both artists leaving empty-handed after losing out on all their nominations.

The one time Grammy Award winner was nominated for Best Global Music Album with “I Told Them…”, Best African Music Performance with “City Boys”, Best Global Music Performance with “Alone” and Best Melodic Rap Performance with “Sittin’ On Top Of The World”.

Among the many superstars in attendance at the Los Angeles venue of the 66th Grammy Awards ceremony were Jay-Z, Beyonce, and South Africa’s newest sensation, Tyla.

His compatriot, Davido also kept a disheartening clean sheet after missing out on all 3 of his nominations.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards honoured the best recordings, compositions, and artists from October 1, 2022, to September 15, 2023, as chosen by the members of The Recording Academy, on February 4, 2024.
