Burna Boy's popular supporter and X influencer benny7gg, however, stirred reactions after he bragged about the Bundle by Bundle's crooner's achievement in the Nigerian music industry.
Sharing a photo of Burna Boy on his X timeline, benny7gg stated that Burna Boy remains the first and still the only Nigerian-born artist to win a Grammy for an album.
"Whatever the outcome may be tonight, never forget that Burna Boy is the first and still the only Nigerian born artist in history to win the #GRAMMYs for his body of work."

However, a quick check by Legit.ng showed Sikiru won a Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album in 2009 for his contribution to the title album of Mickey Hart's Global Drum Project.
