It was a poor outing for Nigerian artistes as none of them win any award at the 66th Grammy ceremony held on February 4th, 2024 at Peacock Theater, Los Angeles, United States.

Five artistes of Nigerian descent – David Adeleke, aka, Davido; Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy; Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake; Olamide Adedeji, aka Baddo; and Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, aka Ayra Starr; all lost out of the Grammy in their combined 10 nominations across different award categories.

DAILY GIST recalls in November 2023, that the five artistes were nominated for the 2024 Grammy Awards.

Nigeria’s music scene isn’t just booming locally; it’s making waves worldwide, and the Grammys are taking notice.

Below are Nigerians who have won the Grammy awards:
