2020 Brit Awards: Burna Boy loses international best male artiste to Tyler, the Creator
Nigerian Afro-fusion singer Burna Boy, on Tuesday night, lost the international best male solo artist at the Brit Awards 2020.
The Brit Awards is one of the biggest award nights in British music.
Burna Boy was nominated alongside Tyler, the Creator, Post Malone, Dermot Kennedy and Bruce Springsteen.
This is coming barely a month after the African Giant lost the Grammy Award to Beninoise Angelique Kidjo.
In his acceptance speech, Tyler dedicated the award win to former British Prime Minister, Theresa May.
May was home secretary in 2015, when Tyler, the Creator was banned from entering the UK over some of his song lyrics.
