All the Nigerian music stars who were nominated for different categories of award at the 2024 Grammy have missed out from award winner’s list.
The 66th edition of the 2024 Grammy award event held at Los Angeles on Sunday.
Nigeria had earned five nominations across different categories- a testament to their exceptional work of arts and growing influence on the global scene.
2021 Grammy winner Burna Boy, Davido, Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake had all been nominated but all 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 Grammy, alongside American performers Brandy and 21 Savage failed to notch any award.
Also Davido, who got his first nominations for Best Global Music Album (Timeless), Best African Music Performance (“Unavailable” featuring Musa Keys), and Best Global Music Performance (Feel) failed to win any award.
Both Asake and Olamide’s Amapiano didn’t also make it to the winning list after its nomination in the Best African music performance category.
Also Ayra Starr’s Rush was not able to make a winning impression despite her nomination for the inaugural Best music performance category.
It’s definitely going to be a sad night to remember in the Nigerian music industry that despite the nominations of its biggest artistes, none of them was able to tie down any award.
