2024 GRAMMYs: #Tyla Wins First-Ever #GRAMMY Award, #Burna Boy, #Davido And #Nigerian Superstars Lost—-I never thought I’d say I won a GRAMMY at 22 years old,” the South African singer said.

Although coming up against stiff competition, including massive Afrobeats stars Burna Boy and Davido, Tyla’s hit song “Water” proved undeniable for GRAMMY voters.

davido has three nomination but fail to win as he was humbled at the 66th annual grammy award in Los Angeles.

It was a disappointing outing for Nigerian Afrobeats stars at the 66th Grammy Awards as Burna Boy, Davido, Tems, Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake failed to win from 10 nominations across five categories.

The Nigerian contingent lost the inaugural ‘Best African Music Performance’ trophy to South-African singer Tyla who earned the prize with her 2023 track, “Water”.

All the categories the Afrobeats stars contended in were announced at the Grammy Premiere ceremony where dozens of prizes are handed out before the main live telecast show.

2021 Best Global Album winner Burna Boy and compatriot Davido lost the category this year to Shakti. The world fusion band won with the album, “This Moment”, besting Burna Boy’s “I Told Them”, Davido’s “Timeless” albums, and others.

The duo did not fare batter in the corresponding Best Global Music Performance category, losing to Indian composer Zakir Hussain for the track “Pashto” featuring Bela Fleck and Edger Meyer.

Meanwhile, Lil Durk’s collaboration with J Cole, “All My Life” put paid to Burna Boy’s hopes of winning any trophy out of four nominations by claiming the Grammy for Best Melodic Rap.

This is despite the fact that the self-professed African giant was billed to perform the nominated track in that category, Sittin’ on Top of The world’ with the featured American rapper 21 Savage, at the live telecast ceremony.

Tems who won her first Grammy last year in the Best Melodic Rap category for her collaboration with Future and Drake on the track ‘Wait for You’, lost in the Song Written for Visual Media category.

Her work on the Black Panther theme song ‘Lift me Up’ performed by Rihanna, lost to ‘What Was I Made For’ performed by Billie Eilish for the 2023 fantasy drama ‘Barbie’.

The latest exchange adds to a long running dispute between both actresses, which has played out publicly on social media over the years, with repeated back and forth comments and accusations.

At different points in the conflict, Iyabo Ojo had shared a video mocking Lizzy Anjorin, which escalated tensions between both sides. Lizzy later made allegations against Iyabo, leading to further public exchanges and legal threats.

Iyabo Ojo had demanded a public apology and threatened legal action over alleged defamatory statements, including a compensation claim.

Odumodublvck Mocks Blaqbonez Over Suggested Boxing Match—-Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has mocked fellow artist Blaqbonez after content creator Nasboi suggested a potential boxing match between the two.

The idea emerged shortly after the recent celebrity bout involving Portable (Habeeb Olalomi), who suffered defeat in a widely discussed clash that has since sparked fresh interest in entertainment boxing matchups.

Riding on the momentum, Nasboi floated the idea of another high-profile bout—this time between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez—prompting reactions across social media.

Odumodublvck, however, appeared to brush off the suggestion, responding with mocking and sarcastic remarks aimed at Blaqbonez. His comments, delivered in his usual bold style, quickly gained traction online and added a humorous edge to the conversation.

While Blaqbonez is known for his witty online persona and may yet respond, the exchange so far has been largely playful, with fans treating the idea more as entertainment than a serious sporting contest.

The situation highlights the growing trend of celebrity boxing in Nigeria’s entertainment space, where viral moments and online banter can quickly evolve into headline-grabbing narratives.

For now, the proposed fight remains speculative—but if recent trends are anything to go by, fans won’t rule anything out just yet.
