His album ‘Love Damini’, and his song ‘Last Last’ were nominated for Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance awards respectively.The winners of these categories respectively were the Japanese musician Masa Takumi for his album ‘Sakura’ and ‘Bayethe’ by Wouter Kellerman, Zakes Bantwini and Nomcebo Zikode.The winners were announced at the premiere ceremony of the Grammys.
The Grammy has long eluded mainstream Nigerian artists but in 2021 when Burna Boy took home the award for Best Global Music Album for his album Twice as Tall, more artists have strived to clinch the golden gramophone.
