The organizers of the Grammy Awards recently praised Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, acknowledging his prominent position in the Afrobeats genre and the broader spectrum of African artists.

This acknowledgment was part of a statement released on their website, specifically congratulating Burna Boy and other nominees for the inaugural category of Best African Music Performance at the 2024 Grammys.

In their statement, the Grammys highlighted Burna Boy's significance, citing his notable collaborations with global stars such as Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.

They also recognized his milestone achievement of securing his first UK No. 1 album, "I Told Them…", which features a classic hip-hop influence and includes guest appearances from 21 Savage, J. Cole, RZA, and GZA.

The Academy said, “There’s not a bigger star in Afrobeats, or even the whole of Africa itself, than Burna Boy. He nabbed two consecutive Best Global Album GRAMMY nods for his albums Twice as Tall and African Giant, and he’s also collaborated with global stars such as Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.”
