Davido and Burna Boy, the Nigerian singers, have failed to win any of their categories at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Davido, who is a first-time Grammy nominee, was nominated in three categories — including ‘Best Global Album’ for his latest album, ‘Timeless’.
Others are ‘Best African Performance’ for his song ‘Unavailable’ and ‘Best Global Music Performance’ for his track ‘Feel’.
He, however, lost the ‘Best African Music’ category to Tyla’s ‘Water’, ‘Best Global Music Performance’ to ‘Pashto’ by Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain featuring Rakesh Chaurasia, and ‘Best Global Album’ to Shakti’s ‘The Moment’.
