All the Nigerian artists nominated in various categories of the Grammy awards have failed to win an award for any of the categories they were listed for.

Davido, who received three nominations in his debut, joined Burna Boy, who received four nominations.
Olamide, Arya Starr, and Asake received one nomination each.
Together with South African singer, Tyla, they were all nominated in the inaugural Best African Music Performance category.
Burna Boy and Davido also bagged nominations for the Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance categories.
Burna Boy received a 4th nomination for the 66th Grammy Awards, this time for Best Melodic Rap Performance.
The category was won by Tyla’s “Water,” over Davido’s “Unavailable,” Asake’s “Amapiano,” Burna Boy’s “City Boy” and Ayra Starr’s “Rush.”
