The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has taken to social media to congratulate Nigerian music stars Davido and Burna Boy, among others, despite losing their nominations at the Grammy Awards.
Sanwo-Olu celebrated the artists via his official social media handle earlier this week.
He wrote, “A special shoutout to #burnaboy, #davido, #ayrastarr, #@asakemusik, and all Nigerian talents represented as nominees at the Grammy’s, the apex music award in the world.
“Your mastery reached unparalleled heights on those exclusive platforms, showcasing world-class talent we’re immensely proud of.
“To those who may feel disheartened by the results, remember, in the eyes of your fans and Nigerians, you’re everlasting winners and with every global arena and stadiums you fill up, your representation of Afrobeat and Nigeria is unparalleled, and soon you’ll light up the stages you desire as triumphant victors.
“Cheers to more timeless moments as you continue to tell the world our stories with your music.”
However, Punch Online has reported that South African singer Tyla was the winner of the Best African Music Performance category at the 2024 Grammys.
Despite being nominated, Burna Boy and Davido did not win any awards, joining fellow Nigerians Asake, Arya Starr, and Olamide who were also unsuccessful at this year’s awards ceremony.
