Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has once again etched his name in the annals of global music, becoming the first Nigerian artist to receive five Grammy nominations in album categories. His latest project, No Sign of Weakness, earned a nomination for Best Global Music Album at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards

Burna Boy’s album joins a prestigious lineup that includes:

• Sounds of Kumbha by Siddhant Bhatia
• Éclairer le monde: Light the World by Youssou N’Dour
• Mind Explosion (50th Anniversary Tour Live) by Shakti
• Chapter III: We Return to Light by Anoushka Shankar, Alam Khan, and Sarathy Korwar
• Caetano e Bethânia Ao Vivo by Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia

This marks a significant milestone not just for Burna Boy, but for Nigerian music on the global stage.

His Grammy journey began with African Giant in 2020, followed by Twice as Tall in 2021, which won Best Global Music Album. Subsequent nominations for Love, Damini and now No Sign of Weakness have solidified his reputation as a consistent global contender.

Burna Boy’s success continues to elevate Afrobeats internationally, inspiring a new generation of Nigerian artists. His fusion of traditional African rhythms with global sounds has earned him acclaim across continents.
