Popular Artiste, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, better known as Wizkid has failed to win in the two categories he was nominated for the 64th Grammy awards..

Recall that Wizkid was nominated alongside fellow Nigerians– Femi Kuti, Burna Boy and Tems for Best Global Music Performance at The 2022 Grammys. Also nominated in that same category was Beninese legend, Angelique Kidjo.

The Self acclaimed Starboy also has his ‘Made In Lagos’ album nominated for Best Global Music Album at The 2022 Grammys, alongside Femi Kuti and Made Kuti’s Legacy +, Angelique Kidjo’s Mother Nature and Rocky Dawumi’s Voice of Bunbon Volume.

Unfortunately, he lost the first which is the Best Global Music Performance to Arooj Aftab and the second, Best Global Music Album to Angelique Kidjo.

Notwithstanding, Wizkid bagged the Best Music Video at the 63rd Grammy awards last year and stands out as one of the African artists to have won the prestigious award.

His loss comes as a surprise to many who had predicted a double win for the singer in both categories.

The 64th Grammy Awards is being held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas today, Sunday, April 3.
