Five Grammy nominations are coming Burna Boy's way in 2024—he's one of the artists taking African music to a global audience.
Three of his songs were nominated for awards this year: "Alone" for Best Global Music Performance, "City Boy" for Best African Music Performance, "Sittin' On Top Of The World" with 21 Savage for Best Melodic Rap Performance, and his album "I Told Them" for Best Global Album.
With four nominations in a year, he is currently the first Nigerian performer to do so.
Another historical first: Burna Boy is the first lead African artist to be nominated outside of the global categories, with his nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance.
He now has four nominations altogether, setting a record for Nigeria with his ten nominations.
He also creates history by becoming the first musician from Africa to be nominated for five Grammy awards in a row, from 2019 to 2023.
