Award-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy was edged out of the Best Global Music Album category at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
His project, No Sign of Weakness, lost to Brazilian music legends Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia, whose live album, Caetano e Bethânia Ao Vivo, clinched the award.
Burna Boy faced strong competition in the category, which also featured Siddhant Bhatia’s Sounds of Kumbha, Youssou N’Dour’s Éclairer le monde (Light the World), and Anoushka Shankar’s Chapter III: We Return to Light.
The loss capped a difficult night for the Nigerian star, who had earlier missed out on the Best African Music Performance award. That category was won by South African singer Tyla, whose track Push 2 Start triumphed over entries from Burna Boy, Davido, and Ayra Starr. (The Nation)
