The well-known Afrobeats performer Burna Boy makes a suggestion that the Recording Academy created the new Grammy category for “Best African Music Performance” in his honor.

The well-known African musician expressed his sense of guilt about the creation of the new African Music category.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, he disclosed this.

Burna Boy questioned whether the new category the Recording Academy developed will be as prestigious as the others.

Burna said:
“I do feel somewhat responsible for the new ‘Best African Music Performance’ category, which is nice. At the same time, what is it really? Is it a consolation category? Will it hold as much prestige? I’m waiting to see.”
