Afrobeats has truly taken the spotlight at the 67th GRAMMY Awards, putting Nigerian music at the forefront of global recognition.

This Friday, the nominees were unveiled, with Nigeria claiming a dominant presence in the Best African Music Performance category—a major win for the genre.

Seven Nigerian artists are in the running in a category filled with powerhouse talent, each bringing a unique sound and story to the global stage.

They are joined by American R&B icon Chris Brown, the only international artist among the nominees, spotlighting Afrobeats’ growing influence.

However, South African artists were noticeably absent from this year’s GRAMMY nominations.

While many are thrilled with Afrobeats’ success, some are questioning why other African regions weren’t as prominently represented.

The 67th GRAMMY Awards will undoubtedly be an exciting night, especially for Afrobeats fans.
