Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy, also known as Damini Ogulu, made a splash with his 2024 Grammy debut, ranking No. 6 on Billboard.
His performance at the prestigious event wowed audiences and solidified his status as a top Afrobeats musician.
Accompanied by Brandy and 21 Savage, Burna Boy performed “Sittin’ on Top of the World” with infectious energy and charisma.
Billboard praised the singer’s performance, noting that he pulled out all the stops for the first-ever Afrobeats performance at the Grammys.
The lush, expansive stage and clever costume design added to the visual appeal of the performance, and the Nigerian star’s infectious energy and easy charm left a lasting impression on the audience.
While Burna Boy’s performance was certainly a highlight of the 2024 Grammys, South African singer Tyla managed to steal the show by clinching the Best African Music Performance award.
Tyla’s chart-topping track ‘Water’ emerged victorious over notable Nigerian contenders, including Davido, Asake, and Burna Boy. The 22-year-old’s global success with “Water,” which ranked in the top 10 across 16 countries, including the UK and the US, solidified her as a rising star in the music industry.
Overall, the 2024 Grammy Awards showcased some of the best talent in the music industry, with Burna Boy and Tyla leaving a lasting impression on audiences and further solidifying their status as music icons.
