A circulating video on social media captures the reaction of popular Nigerian singer Burna Boy after losing in all four Grammy nominations on one night.
The 66th Grammy Awards took place on February 4th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Despite being a Grammy Award winner for Best Global Music Album at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards, Burna Boy, along with other Nigerian artists like Davido, Tems, Ayra Starr, Asake, and Olamide, did not win any awards this time.
The video shows Burna Boy expressing shock and disbelief at not winning any of his recent four nominations. Despite having won one out of 12 Grammy Award nominations he has received, Burna Boy, in the trending clip, mentions that it feels like a dream and doesn’t seem real to him anymore, even though he has performed at the Grammy Awards.
In his words; “E be like dream to me i no know say na real life.”
