At the 67th Grammys, Burna Boy, Rema, Asake, and others received nominations.

The Recording Academy has unveiled the nominees for the 67th Grammy Awards, revealing a remarkable dominance of Nigerian artists in the Best African Music Performance category. This year, all nominees hail from Nigeria, shining a spotlight on the country’s vibrant music scene.

Among the nominees is American artist Chris Brown, who joins the list with his collaboration featuring Nigerian artists Davido and Lojay. The nominees for this prestigious category are as follows: ‘Tomorrow’ by Yemi Alade, ‘MMS’ by Asake featuring Wizkid, ‘Sensational’ by Chris Brown featuring Davido and Lojay, ‘Higher’ by Burna Boy, and ‘Love Me JeJe’ by Tems.

This recognition comes on the heels of South African singer Tyla’s win for the inaugural award in this category at the 66th Grammys with her track ‘Water.’

Furthermore, Nigerian artists Rema and Tems have secured nominations in the Best Global Music Album category for their respective works: Tems’ debut album ‘Born In The Wild’ and Rema’s sophomore release ‘HEIS.’ They will compete against notable entries such as Matt B and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s ‘Alkebulan II,’ Ciro Hurtado’s ‘Paisajes,’ and Antonio Rey’s ‘Historias De Un Flamenco.’

In addition, Tems has earned a nomination in the Best R&B Song category for her track ‘Burning,’ making her one of the few female artists in a category otherwise filled exclusively with women, including Kehlani, Coco Jones, Muni Long, and SZA.

The 67th Grammy Awards, set against this backdrop of Nigerian excellence and increasing global representation, promise to be an exciting celebration of contemporary music.
