Super Bowl LVII in 2024 made history as only the second championship game to go into overtime, drawing an astonishing 120 million viewers on CBS.

With simulcasts on Nickelodeon, Univision, Paramount+, and other digital platforms, the total viewership soared to 123.4 million—making it the most-watched broadcast in American history, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

For Super Bowl 59, the halftime show was nothing short of legendary. 22-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar took center stage, delivering a powerhouse performance packed with his biggest hits.

His appearance comes at a pivotal moment in his career, fresh off a decisive victory in his high-profile rap feud with Drake.

With guest appearances from Grammy-winning singer SZA, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, and Oscar-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson, Lamar’s set was a cultural moment in itself. The defining highlight? His performance of ‘Not Like Us,’ the explosive Drake diss track that had fans in a frenzy.

Given the historic nature of his set, the halftime show is expected to rack up record-breaking replays on YouTube, joining the ranks of iconic performances from Rihanna, Dr. Dre & Friends, The Weeknd, Katy Perry, Usher, Lady Gaga, and other Super Bowl greats.

The Notorious B.I.G

Just Like Tupac, the Notorious B.I.G was a popular rapper when he was alive and an iconic rap figure after his death, however, his many hit records don’t count for anything as far as Grammy is concerned.

Several top artists from all over the world have been nominated countless times, but only a few were able to bag a Grammy before the end of their career.

As a matter of fact, only one  Nigerian has recorded a solo win in the name of; Sikiru Adepoju.

Though, that was quite a long time ago when the music market wasn’t so cramped.

Now, winning has become more difficult, as many new talents have risen. The competition has become very Fierce, that only the best among equals is opportune to win.

Before Burna Boy’s Massive arrival, lots of top current music acts were nominated for this prestigious award, but none were been able to win.

Talk about king sunny Ade, Babajide Olatunji, Timaya, and sons of the late Afrobeats legend(Fela Kuti); Femi Kuti and Seun Kuti

Nonetheless, 2019, marked quite an Adrenaline rush for Burna Boy‘s career.

He went from releasing billboard smashing hits to bagging almost all African music and entertainment awards held this year, including the BET and EMAs.

The singer made several international collaborations and entertained thousands of global fans in concert.

He dropped a mega Album; “African giant”, which took him places, brought him trophies and caused even the biggest media houses and Newspaper houses to address him as “The graceful king of Afrobeats.

Finally, the African giant earned a Grammy nomination, for his album, under the “Best World Music album category”.

However, Burna Boy’s come up might be just too soon, for such a highly esteemed award.

To buttress my point, let’s look at the greatest American rappers and singers of all time, known all over the world. Yes, quite a number of them got nominated, but only a few have a Grammy attached to their awards list.

Talk about the popularly acclaimed Queen of rap; Nicki Minaj, ten nominations, no award. Katy Perry, thirteen nominations, no award. Even the great reggae king, Bob Marley, only got nominated once and didn’t win. Rap legend, Snoop Dog, Seventeen nominations, Zero awards.

Let’s not even go too far, Seun Kuti has been nominated a total of four times, with absolutely no win. He was nominated once under; “Best Contemporary Music Album”, and thrice under “Best World Music Album“, the same category under which Burna Boy was nominated.

Even though it’s best to remain optimistic this time around, we can’t deny the fact that he has relatively slim chances of winning.

Anyhow, nothing is impossible. Perhaps he could pave the way for other Nigerian artists by being the First publicized Nigerian to Win a Grammy.

Hmm, now that sounds really good!

Once again, congrats on your nomination Burna Boy!

We pray you to win and become the giant that rocketed African music to the world!.

On this note, I will like to urge Nigerians to maintain their calm in whatever the result turns out to be.

As Burna Boy still remains the African Giant, even Grammy can never rob him of his shine!!!

Katy Perry dropped a surprise new song Thursday night featuring Nicki Minaj called “Swish Swish,” and her fans think it’s the response to Taylor Swift they have been waiting years for.

Perry, 32, tweeted about “Swish Swish” one hour before the song dropped while Minaj, 34, teased it in a hashtag on Twitter in advance of her appearance at the Billboard Music Awards.’

The lyrics of “Swish Swish” sound like a shot at rumored rival Taylor Swift — whose 2014 song “Bad Blood” is long-assumed to be about Perry — and Twitter was quick to take notice.

Qoutable Lyrics:-

They know what is what
But they don’t know what is what
They just strut
What the fuck?
A tiger
Don’t lose no sleep
Don’t need opinions
From a shellfish or a sheep
Don’t you come for me
No, not today (woah)
You’re calculated
I got your number
‘Cause you’re a joker
And I’m a courtside killer queen
And you will kiss the ring
You best believe
So keep calm, honey, I’ma stick around
For more than a minute, get used to it
Funny my name keeps comin’ out your mouth
‘Cause I stay winning
Lay ’em up like
Swish, swish, bish
Another one in the basket (basket, woah, basket, woah)
Can’t touch this
Another one in the casket (casket, woah, casket)
Your game is tired
You should retire
You’re ’bout as cute as
An old coupon expired (woah, woah)
And karma’s not a liar
She keeps receipts
