Tyla clinched the Best African Music Performance award for her song “Water,” surpassing competition from Davido, Ayra Starr, and Burna Boy.
Despite Burna Boy’s four nominations, he didn’t secure a Grammy, yet his captivating performance left the audience in awe.
Nigerian singer Billy O expressed disappointment, suggesting a lack of recognition for Afrobeats and Afro RnB by Grammy voters.
Davido, despite the Nigeria-South Africa rivalry, congratulated Tyla, and South Africa was also represented by Trevor Noah, who hosted the ceremony for the fourth time.
