Superstar musician Damini Ogulu, better known by his stage as Burna Boy, has been added to the 2024 Grammy performance schedule.
This information about the “African Giant” performer, who will share the stage with Travis Scott and Luke Combs, was made public by the Recording Academy on Monday morning.
“Attention: African Giant @BurnaBoy will take the #GRAMMYs stage on Sunday, February 4th at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on @CBS,” the Grammy organizers said on official X handle.
Other acts Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and Dua Lipa have previously been revealed.
Wizkid is more well-liked in the African music scene than Burna Boy and Davido, according to Tunde Ednut.
Afrobeat musician Wizkid is said to be more appreciated across Africa than any other Nigerian singer in a video uploaded by blogger Tunde Ednut. This is because he helped to change how African artists are regarded at the BET International Awards.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Tunde described how African performers received their plaques and prizes backstage at the BET prizes prior to 2018.
The video brought back memories of Wizkid, who won the 2017 BET Award but declined to attend, claiming the ceremony was encouraging false affection for African musicians.

According to Wizkid, the BET Awards should stop recognising African artists if they can’t treat them as well as they do international artists.
Following Wizkid’s statement, the impact was evident as Davido, who won the BET award in 2018, was welcomed to the main ceremony and presented with his prize.
The voice over behind the video said; “Beyond his musical prowess, one of the significant reasons Wizkid commands respect across Africa is his pivotal role in changing the treatment of African artiste at the BET Awards.
Prior to 2018, African artistes received their awards backstage or in front of an empty audience often hours before the main show.
In 2017, Wizkid won BET Best International Act but chose not to attend the event. He not only refused to show up but also called out BET expressing his discontent in an interview.
“If you are not gonna show us same love, you show your international artiste, if you’re not gonna show us that same love on the main stage then don’t show us no love until we don’t want it.”
The impact was tangible, the following year when Davido secured the award, it was presented to him during the main show in front of a live audience.
since then African artiste have been accorded the same respect as their America counterparts at the BET award.”
Captioning the video, Tunde Ednut wrote; “RESPECT!!!! ✊????.”

Official video for “Do I (Remix)” by Phyno, a famous Nigerian rapper, composer, record producer, and CEO of Penthauze Music, has dropped.

Smoke of problems began with Jamaican artist Jada Kingdom a few weeks after Nigerian musician Burna Boy rekindled his romance with his former fiancée, Stefflon Don.
A prior article detailed Burna Boy’s six-bag luxury present to Jamaican artist Jada Kingdom, which led to speculation of a possible romantic involvement between the two. But Jada denied the accusations at the time.
Nevertheless, Jada’s recent remarks, in which she openly criticizes Stefflon Don, imply differently following the release of a diss single by the British artist.
It’s also important to remember that the two’s argument apparently began weeks after Burna Boy gave Stefflon Don a RollsRoyce Cullinan as a birthday present.
Stefflon Don
In a viral Instagram live video, Jada Kingdom criticized Stefflon Don, urging her to be straightforward and confront the situation. She advised Stefflon Don to stop evading the issue concerning a man known for his promiscuity, referring to Burna Boy as a “Community Dcck.”
Here’s a loose translation of her statement, “I never claimed Burna Boy because my P is blessed. Burna Boy is community neegar, he is for everyone. Steff has been throwing shades at me since last year, and I have been ignoring her. It’s all weird because all this is over a man (Burnaboy) that I never claimed.”

Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer, Burna Boy, sparked a buzz on social media when he boldly claimed that there’s no such thing as the ‘big 3’, asserting that there are only the ‘big 2’, and then there’s himself.

He could be heard saying, “Next time anybody tells you about anything called the ‘big 3’, tell them there’s only the ‘big 2’ and then, there’s Burna Boy.”
While it is unsure who he was referring to as the big two, many have claimed that the singer meant Wizkid and Davido are the big two, and he isn’t on their level or in their category to make it the ‘big 3’, hence, there’s just the big two and there’s Burna Boy.
His statement, however, has attracted attention on social media, with many taking to the comment page of the post to share their observations.

@Tinarerelaw1234:“He has told people before and people can clearly see he’s in his own league but I’m glad he gave this message ????????????❤️❤️❤️. Dats my bestfriend.”
@diamonddemola:“He’s not even big two, he’s third force! Let him continue to denigrate his people for validations, we still love Wizzy and David more than him. It’s not just about good music, it’s also about impact and how you are perceived at home. Burna too dey find enemies where there’s none.”
