Ghanaian singer has KiDi shared what Burna Boy’s winning a Grammy award with his album means for young African artists.
Kidi in an interview with veteran OAP ShopsyDoo spoke about the impact of Nigeria’s Burna Boy’s grammy win amongst others.
“Before Burna’s award, shoutout to Burna on a huge huge success. Before that, whenever Grammys are mentioned to African artists, we had that thing of we’ll get there, one day. We don’t know, but we’ll get there. It was that feeling, right?
“But after Burna did it, like you said, he broke down the doors.”
Every African artists coming up, myself looking on that day watching on TV. All I could have on my mind was it is possible, it can be done. Now I go to sleep with a fresh mindset and different outlook in life.”

“With hard work, with dedication, with the right mind, pushing, breaking boundaries, I can do it. As an African artist, I don’t know about other artists. I keep saying that I personally, my philosophy is not linked to working towards the Grammy, or work towards the BET or any awards.
“I feel like if I do my work, if I work hard, push hard and let the music itself speak for me, everything else will fall in place.”
Burna Boy’s 2020 album “Twice As Tall’ won the “Best World Album” category at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. He beat out Antibalas with “Fu Chronicles” Bebe Gilberto “Agora”, Anousha Shankar with “Love Letters” and Tinariwen with “Amadjar” to clinch the award.
