Stonebwoy’s 2021 Grammys dream shattered as Recording Academy announces nominees
Ghanaian afro-dancehall star Stonebwoy’s dream of becoming the first local musician to grab a Grammy nod shattered as the Recording Academy announces the nomination list for the 2021 edition.
Stonebwoy for Grammys
The campaign dubbed ‘Stonebwoy for Grammys’ targeted the “Best Global Music Album” category and it listed all the singer’s career achievements, including streaming numbers, albums, tours, collaborations and international media coverage.
But the announcement which was done yesterday excluded his name.

Nigeria’s Burna Boy earned his second nod in two years. He competes with Antibalas, Bebel Gilberto, Anoushka Shankar and Tinariwen in the “Best Global Music Album”.
According to the Recording Academy, the “Best Global Music Album” category (formerly known as World Music Album) is for albums containing at least 51% playing time of new vocal or instrumental Global Music recordings.
The 63rd Grammys will be airing Sunday, January 31, on CBS, and according to reports, TV host Trevor Noah will host the show.
See below nominees for the major categories.
