It was a poor outcome for Nigerian musicians at the 66th Grammy Awards which was held on Sunday at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California, with none of them taking home an award.
It would be recalled that five Nigerian artists, David Adeleke, aka, Davido; Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy; Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake; Olamide Adedeji, aka Baddo; and Oyinkansola Aderibigbe, aka Ayra Starr; all lost out of the Grammy, were nominated for the Grammy in different categories; sadly, none had won.
