While Nigeria has maintained a steady winning streak at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), activities at the Grammys last night didn't go as many would have liked it.
Davido didn't win in any of the three categories he earned nominations, including, Best African Music Performance, Best Global Music Performance, and Best Global Album Performance.
Burna Boy lost all the four categories he was nominated including, Best African Music Performance, Best Global Music Performance, and Best Global Album Performance, and Best Melodic Rap Performance.

And the priced new category, Best African Music Performance category that included Asake and Olamide, Ayra Starr, Burna Boy, Davido and Musa Keys was won by the South African, Tyla for "Water."
But there were reasons to be excited. Burna Boy, introduced by the Recording Academy CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., performed on the live show, the first for an African artist. And the South African comedian, Trevor Noah hosted the live event.
Just as Davido told BillBoard at the pre-Grammy event, "I'm just happy that we all get to shine."
