Some hopes would be dashed as usual whilst some surprises would be made.
What and what are we expecting?
Bringing it to Africa 🌍 which is already on the spotlight due to so many rising stars, expects more drama.
For the Record ;Burnaboy’s “twice as tall” is the first and only nigerian album to win a Grammy ! 🦍
Many of his fans are bragging already that the sslf acclaimed African Giant is set to bring another Grammy home. However, not too many Nigerians believe he would this time around.
A year ago, Burna Boy made history as the first Nigerian artist to perform on the #GRAMMYs main stage 🇳🇬.
On the contrary, the fans of Davido are massively expectant that The “sensational” crooner is poised on bringing it home this time.
Hence : If there’s one person who has put Afrobeats on the #Grammy map,
IT IS #DAVIDO. Tomorrow, we’ll add another feather to our cap. #30BG, “one of his fans Bragged.
Also,BIG congratulations to @Lojay!
He’s making his #Grammy debut as a nominee for “Best African Music Performance” for his feature on Chris Brown’s “Sensational” with Davido! 🇺🇸🇳🇬
Meanwhile, the Grammy nominated singer, Yemi Alade said she wanted to communicate, hence, she embraces multiple languages and genres to showcase Africa to the world.
The Nigerian Afro-pop sensation has featured on a Grammy-nominated album by Beyoncé and a Grammy-winning one by Beninese-French star Angelique Kidjo; but despite her popularity in Africa and her multilingual songs, Alade has yet to win a solo Grammy.
All that could change later on today with with her song “Tomorrow” nominated in the Best African Music Performance category.
Meanwhile, The fans of Wizkid are placing a bet that Wizkid and Asake would win a Grammy for their song, MMS.
Let me take you back a bit to history 101…

Welcome back…
Ok, Ghana isn’t left out.

“Shatta Wale appears in Grammy article write-ups more frequently than the industry’s “darling boys,” even though he has never met the CEO of the Grammys, someone mocks the Ghanaian talented singer.
Tems is also expected to pull surprises today as Billboard has predicted “Love Me JeJe” to win the Grammy award for the Best African Music Performance.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria’s Grammy-winning singer Tems announced on Thursday she was cancelling an upcoming concert in Kigali over Rwanda’s support of the M23 armed group waging an offensive in eastern DR Congo.
