Pop star singer Burna Boy, has argued the newly created “Best African Music Performance” category by Grammys was because of his unbeatable talent.
Burna Boy, whose album, ‘Twice As Tall’ won the “Best Global Music Album’ category at the 63rd Grammy Awards, said he feels “responsible” for the creation of the new African music category.

The self-acclaimed “African Giant” stated this in a recent interview with Los Angeles Times.
He said: “I do feel somewhat responsible for the new ‘Best African Music Performance’ category, which is nice. At the same time, what is it really? Is it a consolation category? Will it hold as much prestige? I’m waiting to see.”
The Nation reports the Grammys in June created a new category for ‘Best African Music Performance.’
The award organisers said the category is open to both contemporary and traditional music from the African continent, including Afrobeats, Afro-pop, Amapiano, High Life, Fuji, etc.
