Renowned Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has won his first-ever prestigious Grammy award at the 63rd Grammy Award ceremony.
His album, Twice As Tall, is now the first Nigerian album to win a Grammy after African Giant was nominated in the category for the Best Global Music Album, for his album Twice As Tall.
Burna Boy beat four others including the Malian band, Tinariwen to grab the award, after being nominated for a second consecutive year.
Grammy award winner, Angelique Kidjo won the Best World Music Album, during his last outing at the Grammys in 2020, the same category in which Burna Boy was nominated. The category is now tagged: Best Global Music Album.
Going memory lane, Kidjo dedicated her win to him, saying, “Burna Boy is among those young artists that come from Africa that is changing the way our continent is perceived and the way that African music is the bedrock of all music.”
