Burna Boy became the first Nigerian artist to win in this category thanks to his first Grammy two years ago. His album “Twice as Tall,” which came out in August 2020, was praised for its mix of Afrobeat, reggae, hip-hop, and R&B.

Burna Boy’s position as one of the foremost voices in African music was cemented by the album’s positive critical and commercial reception.
