Burna Boy’s inclusion marks the first time an African artist will perform at the prestigious Grammys.
Burna Boy received four nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards: Best African Music Performance (City Boys), Best Global Music Performance (Alone), Best Melodic Rap Performance (Sittin' On Top Of The World), and Best Global Music Album (I Told Them).

The 32-year-old won the 2021 63rd Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony for Best Global Music Album for Twice As Tall.


Fans of Burna Boy and social media users have responded to this news in a variety of ways.

"Burna boy always putting Africa on the map, he has done so much for the culture, awarding him all 4 nominations won't be a bad move as he deserve them all," wrote an X user named @NTSF_10. Give me the name of five international artists without mentioning them, and I'll give you a zero for musical knowledge. Give him an award.

@NarrativeNestor, another user, commented, "Burna is a global sensation." Man performs, not just sings!
