List Of Nigerian Artistes Nominated For 2024 Grammy Awards

Nigeria has dominated the Grammy Awards this year, as seen by the fact that only Nigerian artistes competed in the Best African Music Performance category, demonstrating once again how powerful Nigerian music has grown internationally.

With a nomination for his smash song “Higher,” heavyweight Burna Boy has returned to the contest, and Asake, who collaborated with Wizkid on “MMS,” is also vying for the coveted honor.

Alongside Lojay, who receives his first Grammy nomination for their collaboration on Chris Brown’s “Sensational,” Davido receives his second nomination in the category.

Tems gets her spot with “Love Me Jeje,” and Yemi Alade receives her first solo nomination for “Tomorrow,” completing an all-star Nigerian roster.

But Tems doesn’t stop there—she’s the only African artist with multiple nominations across global categories this year. Her debut album Born in the Wild vies for Best Global Music Album, where she’s joined by Rema, who is up for his sophomore album HEIS.

Outside the African and global categories, Tems also shines in Best R&B Song for “Burning,” a standout track from her album that’s captured listeners worldwide.

And making an unexpected splash, Nigerian-American country artist Shaboozey rakes in five nominations, making history with nods in Song of the Year and Best Country Solo Performance for his viral sensation, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
