Mega Afro beat act, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy has narrowly missed out on making history after losing the prestigious Grammy to legendary singer, Angelique Kidjo.
This award would have made Burna Boy the second Nigerian in history to win the coveted award after renowned drummer, Sikiru Adepoju, who won the award in 2009.
He won it for an album titled Global Drum Project at the 2009 Grammy Awards alongside Mickey Hart, Giovanni Hidalgo and Zakir Hussein.
