In the 2021 Grammy Awards, he received another nomination for his album “Twice as Tall” in the category of “Best Global Music Album.”
He was nominated alongside four other artists, including Tinariwen from Mali and Antibalas from the United States, and he won that category, earning him his first Grammy.
The African superstar has been nominated for the Grammy Awards for the third time in a row, this time in the category of “best global music performance” for a song named “Do yourself,” which he co-wrote with Angelique Kidjo.
Burna Boy was also given credit for “Album of the Year” on Justin Bieber’s “Justice” this year.
