Grammys: Burna Boy to perform at the live recording show

According to the organizers who made the announcement, Burna Boy is set to make history by becoming the first African artist to perform at the live recording award show in an announcement made on January 22, 2024.

The Nigerian superstar holds the record of being the first Nigerian artist operating within the Nigerian music industry to win a Grammy when he won it in 2021 for Best Global Album for his fifth album ‘Twice As Tall’.

At the 2024 Grammys scheduled for February 5, Burna Boy is also nominated in four categories which is a Nigerian record for most nominations in a Grammy year. Among his nominations is the Best Melodic Rap Performance for his single ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ featuring 21 Savage which makes him the first Nigerian lead artist to be nominated outside of the global categories.

Burna Boy’s performance at the 2024 Grammys is the second time he will be performing at a Grammys event after he performed at the 2020 Grammys Premiere show.
