Ayra Starr, Davido, Omah Lay, Wizkid, and Burna Boy have lost their respective categories at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The ceremony was held on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena
in Los Angeles and was hosted by South African comedian Trevor Noah.
In the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category, South
Africa’s Tyla won, edging out nominees such as Burna Boy ‘Love’, Wizkid &
Ayra Starr ‘Gimme Dat’, Davido & Omah Lay ‘With You’, and Ugandan artiste
Eddy Kenzo alongside Mehran Matin ‘Hope & Love’.
Burna Boy was also a nominee in the ‘Best Global Music
Album’ category, which he did not win. His project lost to ‘Eclairer le monde:
Light the World’ by Youssou N’Dour.
This is not Tyla’s first time of winning the ‘Best African
Performance’ category at the Grammys.
In 2024, she clinched the award for her hit single ‘Water’.
Tems, the Nigerian songstress, however, won the award for
her song ‘Love Me JeJe’ in 2025.
The 29-year-old edged out fellow Nigerians in a strong field
of nominees — including Yemi Alade, Asake, Wizkid, Davido, Lojay, and Burna Boy
— to secure the coveted award.
