However,
he has failed to clinch the much expected award like other home-grown Nigerian
singers such as King Sunny Ade, Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti, who were all nominated
in the past although it was Burna Boy’s first Grammy nomination and his
multiple award winning African Giant was widely expected to clinch it for him.
