Burna Boy will be the first Afrobeats performer ever to play the Grammys at Sunday night’s ceremony — and he’ll be joined onstage by Brandy and 21 Savage, executive producer, Raj Kapoor, tells Rolling Stone Music now.
The collaboration, will also mark 21 Savage’s Grammy performance debut, while Brandy hasn’t sung on the show since the Nineties. It’s gonna be huge, says Kapoor. It’s gonna get everybody on their feet.
Apart from performing at the awards night, the ‘City Boy’ crooner will also be hoping to clinch at least one golden gramophone, having been nominated for four 2024 Grammy Awards.
He received nominations for “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” for Best Melodic Rap Performance, “I Told Them…” for Best Global Music Album, “Alone” for Best Global Music Performance, and “City Boys” for Best African Music Performance.
His four nominations places him as the most nominated Nigerian artist in the 66th Grammy Awards.
Burna Boy’s “Twice as Tall” won the Grammy Award for “Best Global Music Album” in 2021.
