Grammy Award-winning Nigerian Afro Beats musician Burna Boy has taken delivery of his plaque after winning big at the 63rd edition of the event.
He won a Gramophone in the ‘Global Music Album’ category beating other entertainers like Antibalas, Bebel Gilberto, Anoushka Shankar and Tianariwen with his “Twice As Tall” album.
Burna Boy won the award on his second Grammy nomination after he snagged his first nomination last year with his “African Giant” album, eventually losing out to Angelique Kidjo.
He took to Instagram to post a video of himself and his team celebrating the arrival of the coveted gramophone with the caption; “Early Morning deliveries from across the pond!… My parents prayed for excellent children, not houses, cars or “things”. They asked my sisters for stellar degrees; one got a first class in Finance, the other got a Distinction in Engineering. They asked me for a Grammy, and here we are. I am a product of sacrifice! Thank God and thank you all again!”.
