Nigerian Afro-fusion superstar Burna Boy has achieved another historic feat, becoming the first Nigerian artiste to earn five career Grammy nominations in album categories.
The Afro-fusion star’s latest project, No Sign of Weakness (2025), has earned a nomination for Best Global Music Album at the forthcoming 2025 Grammy Awards.
He will be competing against a stellar lineup of international acts, including Siddhant Bhatia (Sounds of Kumbha), Senegalese legend Youssou N’Dour (Éclairer le monde: Light the World), Shakti (Mind Explosion – 50th Anniversary Tour Live), Anoushka Shankar, Alam Khan, and Sarathy Korwar (Chapter III: We Return to Light), as well as Brazilian icons Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia(Caetano e Bethânia Ao Vivo).

Burna Boy’s previous Grammy-nominated albums include African Giant (2019), Twice As Tall (2020), Love, Damini (2022), I Told Them (2023), and now No Sign of Weakness (2025), further cementing his dominance on the global stage.
Burna also secured another nomination in the Best African Music Performance category for his track Love.
Nigerian acts continued to shine in the same category, with Davido earning recognition for With You featuring Omah Lay, while Ayra Starr and Wizkid were nominated for Gimme Dat.
The lineup also includes Hope & Love by Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin, and Push 2 Start by South African star Tyla.
These nominations highlight the increasing global influence of African music, with Nigerian artistes once again leading the charge. Winners will be announced in Los Angeles next year.
