Burna Boy also continues his Grammy success streak with a nomination for “Higher,” a song that showcases his artistry and influence on a global scale.

Known for his blend of African sounds and themes, Burna Boy has become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated Grammy contenders.

Also making waves is Tems, whose nominated track “Love Me JeJe” has garnered widespread acclaim.

Her soulful and captivating style has quickly propelled her into the international music spotlight, with this Grammy nod cementing her position as an artist to watch.

Each of these nominations not only underscores Nigeria’s dominance in African music but also highlights the country’s growing cultural footprint in the global music industry.
