Burna Boy Loses Six Awards at the 2024 NAACP Image Awards

Usher defeated the self-proclaimed “African Giant” in the Outstanding Male Artist of the Year competition. 

The well-known Nigerian artist Burna Boy maintained his bad luck at award shows by losing six nominations for the 2024 NAACP Image Awards.

Usher defeated the self-proclaimed “African Giant” in the Outstanding Male Artist of the Year competition. His song “City Boys” was defeated by his fellow countryman Tems’ “Me & U” for the Outstanding International Song award.

Burna Boy’s “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” starring 21 Savage, lost to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Cobra” in the Outstanding Hip-hop/rap song category. Chris Brown’s “Sensational,” with Davido and Lojay, won Best Duo/Group Collaboration (Contemporary).

The Victoria Monét album “Jaguar II” defeated his album “I Told Them…” for the Outstanding Album of the Year award.

Remember that Burna Boy received four nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards, one nomination for the 2024 Brit Awards, and seven nominations for the 2023 BET Hip-hop Awards.

On the second night of the 55th Image Awards, Chris Brown’s “Sensational,” which already won the Best Duo/Group Collaboration (Contemporary) on the first night, took home the Outstanding Visual Album/Song honor.
