Burna Boy was nominated in the same category in 2019 – then known as Best World Music Album – but lost out to Kidjo at the awards ceremony in 2020.

However, Kidjo dedicated her win to him, saying: “Burna Boy is among those young artistes that come from Africa that is changing the way our continent is perceived and the way that African music is the bedrock of all music.”

She also visited him and his mum after her Grammy win last year.

Well deserved Africa Giant

thank you Buhari for giving us afdb, wto and now Grammy.

God bless Nigeria, God bless The Yoruba tribe scattered across the length and breadth of Africa and the world in General.

Kidjo is another woman from the Yoruba heritage in Benin Republic doing exceptionally well for herself, she's Won several grammy awards.

Burna on d other hand, half Yoruba, who represents the Yoruba culture and his proud of the Yoruba culture which is evident in his type of music. His acceptance speech and performance yesterday were electrifying, displaying Yoruba culture to the world.

Wizkid too we are proud of him.

God bless Nigeria
God bless Yoruba
God bless Igbo
God bless Hausa
God bless South South
God bless Nigeria

He's now more like a son to her, congrats to Angelique, burna, Davido you are all winners

I thought it's Angelina jolie.

Angelique Kidjo is the real boss!

Even when she won ahead of Burna Boy at the last edition, she still 'congratulated' and sympathised with him for his loss.

African Giant was and is better than Twice as Tall yet grace chose Twice as Tall for a Grammy. Probably, if she was nominated for this same category with Burna Boy, she would have sparogatively won again but she didn't thanks to Burna Boy's consistency.

Anyways, Angelique Kidjo is a Legendary Boss!
