Popular Nigerian singers, Burna Boy, Asake and Rema have lost at the 2024 Brit Awards.
Their failure to clinch an award at the 2024 edition held at London’s 02 Arena on Saturday night showed Nigeria’s winless run at the UK’s highest profile music awards ceremony.
Burna Boy and Asake were nominated for the international categories alongside music stars, Caroline Polaches, CMAT, Kylie Minogue, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus,Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift and SZA who emerged winner.
The Nigerian duo were nominated in the Best International Act of the Year category but lost to American star, SZA.
