The curtains have drawn and fallen on the biggest event in the music industry – the Grammy Awards. Though no Nigerian artist scooped the bell-shaped accolade, a few of them won by association. If you watched the event, then you know we’re referring to Angelique Kidjo’s winning speech where she thanked Nigerian artists Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, and Mr. Eazi for their input in her critically acclaimed album, Mother Nature which won the Best Global Music Album, a category that gave a nod to Wiz Kid.

Machala as well as other Nigerian artists including Femi Kuti and Burner boy also received a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Global Performance but they lost out to Pakistan musician Aroof Aftab’s Mohabbat. Jon Batiste who received the most nominations (11) when the nomination list was published in November 2021 went home with the most awards – a whopping 5!

South African comedian Trevor Noah immaculately steered the three-hour event which was held at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. Here is a full list of all winners of the 2022 Grammy Award.
