Burna Boy returned to the Grammys for the 5th consecutive year as the most nominated Nigerian artist this year, becoming the first Afro-fusion artist to perform on the GRAMMY mainstage. He performed a medley of his album tracks “On Form,” “City Boys,” and “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” and was joined by 21 Savage and Brandy. Burna has been nominated ten times throughout his career and The African Giant’s historic performance at this year’s GRAMMYs serves as yet another highlight.

Since then, he’s been nominated for Best Global Music Performance at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards for his record with Angelique Kidjo, “Do Yourself” and his nominations for Best Global Music Performance for the Platinum RIAA certified hit “Last, Last” and “Best Global Music Album” for his sixth studio album, Love, Damini for the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
His electrifying performance not only captivated audiences worldwide but also solidified his place as a trailblazer in the music industry. Returning to the Grammys for the 5th consecutive year as the most nominated Nigerian artist, Burna Boy’s presence on the mainstage marks a historic moment for Afro-fusion music. His ten nominations throughout his career, including wins for Best Global Music Album, showcase his consistent excellence and innovation.
