In the recently unveiled official cover for the 2024 Grammy Awards, global music sensation Burna Boy stands alone as the sole African artist amidst a lineup of American and British celebrities.
This distinctive feature has sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, particularly as comparisons emerge with fellow Grammy nominee Davido.
One Kaz blogger weighed in on the matter, expressing optimism for Davido’s success:
They can use him to do the cover picture, and yet Davido will win.”
The statement subtly conveys a hope for Davido’s triumph at the prestigious awards.
Fozana Music took a different stance, acknowledging Burna Boy’s prominence:
Let’s be honest; he is literally the biggest African artist. It’s only right he gets to be the one on the cover art.”
Umahia Boys chimed in with a simple yet affirming remark, stating, “Grammy ain’t playing. On God.” The sentiment reflects the recognition of the Grammys showcasing Burna Boy on their cover as a significant acknowledgment of his musical prowess.
VerifiedSideChick, utilizing Davido’s Timeless album as a profile picture, expressed a fervent wish: “God please let dreams come true.” The user’s profile picture adds a personal touch to the anticipation surrounding Davido’s Grammy aspirations.
Recall that last year, Davido celebrated his Grammy nominations across three categories, sharing his joy on Twitter and emphasizing that delay is not denial. Despite his successes in the music industry, the absence of a Grammy win has subjected Davido to consistent trolling from netizens and Nigerians at large, especially following the recent victories of his colleagues Wizkid and Burna Boy at the prestigious awards.
