The news currently getting Nigerians excited is the Grammy Awards nomination of African Giant album by Burna Boy.

Burna Boy got nominated for Best World Music Album.

Best World Music Album:

Gece — Altin Gün
What Heat — Bokanté & Metropole Orkest Conducted By Jules Buckley
African Giant — Burna Boy
Fanm D’ayiti — Nathalie Joachim With Spektral Quartet
Celia — Angelique Kidjo

While many Nigerians believe he would bring the award home, no one seems to be taking into consideration the competition against him.

Right about now, his biggest competition from Africa is Angelique Kidjo who has been nominated nine times and won 3 times.

Two out of the three awards she has won came from the Best World Music Album category, while the third award was gotten from the Best Contemporary World Music Album category.

Asides the fact that she has won the award three times, Angelique Kidjo has had a successful year in music. She has shut down many top European and American concert arenas with awesome live performances.

Some of the concert arenas she shut down this year:

Royal Albert Hall

Elbphilharmonie in Hambourg

Auditorium Parco della Musica – Roma

Villa Arconati – Milano

Carrington at Kongsberg jazz festival, Norway

Her concert schedule sees her preparing to perform in more top European and American auditoriums. With all these, it is quite clear that it won’t be a walk in the park for Burna Boy.

Below are pictures from her concerts as found on her Instagram Page .

i prefer Burna

Burna boy may get burnt by this boyish-looking, baldheaded band leader of a Kidjo.

Oluwa Burna who be this one wey i no know her seff

We know she is his biggest threat, but what is the point of winning, if the competition is weak?

Burna Boy is the new age of African music, and possibly the youngest Nigerian act from Nigeria to get a nomination this century. He did it without being snuck into an international artiste's album or song. This is his original work and just being a Grammy nominee will boost his CV.

I doubt Angelique won it at her first go anyway

Truly, Angelique Kidjo is a threat.


Their two no be mate musically sha. The odds are in her favour but let's watch.

Hmmm

burna to the world

She is indeed a big threat, She isn’t new to Grammy

The award can go to know anyone.If you think having a nomination makes you an automatic winner then you don’t know nothing

Burns all the way

Hmmmm. I smell a big heartbreak for burna

If Burna Boy wins that award, that young man will bring the internet down

Wish him the best!

Of cos we all know that.
When I saw her name there, I was like...lobatan!
I think we should just beg her to leave this for us.
After all, she's won many times before

I've listened to some tracks in the Celia album. It's an album in memory of Celia Cruz, a Spanish woman

She deserves it a lot more. She's more well-known all over the world than Burna Boy, has had more impact, hits, etc. I can't say the same for Burna Boy right now but he can still win one day if he keeps up his efforts.

Na to download her music make i hear wettin she too dey sing........

hh

Swears. God help burna
