Legit.Ng reports that this isn't the first time Burna Boy has been nominated in this category. Burna Boy has won in the last two years. Before then, Wizkid won the award in 2012, when the category had two divisions for Africa and the UK.
If anyone of Nigeria's singers wins the award, Nigerians may well remember Davido's words when both singers won the Grammy Awards. He said it's a victory for Nigeria, the culture, and the people.
