For the 67th Grammy Awards, the Best African Music Performance category is seeing unprecedented representation from Nigeria, as Nigerian artists completely dominate this category. Nominations include top names like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Asake, Tems, Yemi Alade, and Lojay. Their featured songs cover various genres that showcase Nigerian creativity and cultural richness, with tracks like “Tomorrow” by Yemi Alade, “MMS” by Asake and Wizkid, “Sensational” featuring Chris Brown, Davido, and Lojay, “Higher” by Burna Boy, and “Love Me JeJe” by Tems.
This reflects both the global impact of Afrobeats and Nigeria’s growing influence in the music industry. The category itself, which debuted in 2023, highlights African music as a significant global force, and with all nominees being Nigerian, it emphasizes how artists from Nigeria have set the pace for Africa’s presence on the international music stage.
The 67th Grammy Awards will take place on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with these artists representing a new era for African music on the global stage.
