Burna Boy was in contention to win his second Grammy award after he was nominated for the Best African Music Performance, Best Global Music Performance, and Best Global Album Performance, and Best Melodic Rap Performance.
However, the Nigerian megastar failed to win any of his three nominations. Burna Boy 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', and Best Melodic Rap Performance to Lil Durk's 'All My Life' feat J Cole.
