Burna Boy becomes first Nigerian artist to perform at Grammys mainstage
Burna Boy made history as the first Nigerian artist to grace the mainstage of the Grammy Awards.
The artist, synonymous with the broader Afrobeats genre, proudly marked his unique identity as an Afro-fusion artist, a term he has long used to distinguish his musical style.
In a spectacular performance, Burna Boy curated an electrifying showcase featuring lively dancers and a backing band adorned in vibrant attire.
The artist seamlessly captivating the audience with the modern hit “City Boys” and then delivering a mesmerizing rendition of “Sittin’ On Top of the World.”
A special highlight came when Burna Boy welcomed Brandi to the stage, an iconic figure who hadn’t graced the Grammy stage since the ’90s.
The duo collaborated on “Top of the World,” with Brandi showcasing her timeless vocals in a chic black trench coat, clear glasses, and striking scarlet boots, symbolizing their joint triumph in reigning ‘on top of the world.’
