<p class="has-drop-cap">Nigerian singer Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, aka <a href="https://occupygh.com/tag/burna-boy">Burna Boy</a> has lost the 2020 Grammy Award for the Best World Music Album to Angelique Kidjo, whose Celia was adjudged winner over African Giant.</p>



<p>Burna Boy has thus failed to clinch the much-expected award like other home-grown Nigerian singers such as King Sunny Ade, Femi Kuti, and Seun Kuti.</p>



<p>It was Burna Boy’s first Grammy nomination and his multiple award-winning African Giant was widely expected to clinch it for him.</p>

<p>Burna Boy has been making headlines since he dropped the album.</p>



<p>African Giant is the fourth studio album by Burna Boy, which was released on July 26, 2019, by Spaceship Entertainment, Bad Habit, Atlantic Records and Warner Music. The album is a mixture of Afro-fusion, Afrobeat, dancehall, pop, and hip hop.</p>



<p>The Best World Music Album category recognizes performers outside the United States who showcase non-European, indigenous influences in their body of work. The award was first handed out in 1992 to Mickey Hart.</p>



<p>Other artists who did not make it in the category at the ceremony at Staples Centre in Los Angeles are Gece — Altin Gün, What Heat — Bokanté &; Metropole Orkest Conducted By Jules Buckley<br> and Fanm D’ayiti — Nathalie Joachim With Spektral Quartet.</p>
