The Nigerian artist Burna Boy lost six nominations at the 2024 NAACP Image Awards, continuing his dismal performance at award shows.
Usher defeated the self-proclaimed “African Giant” in the Outstanding Male Artist of the Year competition. His song “City Boys” was defeated by his fellow countryman Tems’ “Me & U” for the Outstanding International Song award.
Burna Boy’s “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” starring 21 Savage, lost to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Cobra” in the Outstanding Hip-hop/Rap Song category. Chris Brown’s “Sensational,” with Davido and Lojay, won Best Duo/Group Collaboration (Contemporary).
His album, ‘I Told Them…’ lost the Outstanding Album of the Year category to ‘Jaguar II’ by Victoria Monét.
It should be recalled that Burna Boy lost seven nominations at the 2023 BET Hip-hop Awards, four nominations at the 2024 Grammys, and one nomination at the 2024 Brit Awards.
