Burna Boy has no doubt been known to be a bit dramatic about getting the recognition he deserves and while some people mentioned that even though they knew his character needed a bit of work, his talent was undeniable.
Many other Nigerians were also of the opinion that Burna Boy stood a higher chance of winning the Grammy Award due to the absence of Anjelique Kidjo on the list.
Recall that the music star lost his first ever Grammy nomination to Kidjo and that he was quite shaken by the loss.
This led to him releasing his next album and naming it Twice As Tall.

A tweep said Burna Boy better win the Grammys this year.
Omojuwa is quite optimistic Burna will win.
Jefe believes this year's Grammy is coming home.
Nice one.

Taking the stage to accept the award for which she was nominated alongside Burna Boy, she gave a heart-melting acceptance speech in which she hailed the Nigerian music superstar for his musical talent.
Kidjo who started off her speech by dedicating the award to Burna Boy, stated that he is one of the African artistes changing the way Africa as a whole is perceived. Her speech was welcomed with huge applause from the audience.
