Burnaboy also earned a nod for City Boyz in the Best African Music Performance category.

While Burnaboy might not have gotten a Grammy this year, he did get major recognition from
02:38
former President Barack Obama.

His 2023 hit "Sittin' on Top of the World" was added to Obama's annual favorite songs

list.
