BURNA BOY WINS US AWARD

Nigerian singer Burna Boy has finally ended his poor outing at award ceremonies as he clinched the Best African Music Artist at the 2024 iHeart Radio Music Awards in the United States.

The 2024 iHeart Radio Music Awards held live on FOX on Monday night and was hosted by rapper Ludacris.

Another Nigerian singer, Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ featuring Selena Gomez won the Best Collaboration of the Year.

American pop star, Beyoncé received the iHeart Innovator Award while Cher received the iHeart Icon Award.

Taylor Swift led the winners’ chart with six awards including Artist of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year, Best Lyrics, TikTok Bop of the Year, and Favorite Tour Style.

Burna Boy and Rema now join Wizkid and Tems as the only Nigerian artists to have won iHeart Radio Music awards.

It will be recalled that Burna Boy had been on a winless streak at award shows, missing out on seven nominations at the 2023 BET Hip-hop Awards, four nominations at the 2024 Grammys, and six nominations at the 2024 NAACP Image Awards. On the other side of the Atlantic, he lost the Best International Artist of the Year at the 2024 Brit Awards.
