Nigerian artists faced disappointment at the 66th Grammy Awards held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, United States.
Despite their ten combined nominations, including prominent figures like Davido, Burna Boy, Asake, Olamide, and Ayra Starr, none secured an award during the event on February 4th, 2024.
The ceremony marked a challenging night for the Nigerian music scene, with talents from the country missing out on coveted awards across various categories. Despite their nominations in categories like Best African Music Performance, Best Global Music Album, and Best Rap Album, Nigerian artists failed to clinch the prestigious accolades.
Key winners of the night included Tyla for “Water” in Best African Music Performance, Lil Durk featuring J. Cole for “All My Life” in Best Melodic Rap Performance, and Killer Mike for “Michael” in Best Rap Album.
While disappointment prevailed among Nigerian artists and their fans, the event underscored the diverse talents and outstanding achievements celebrated within the global music landscape.
