Burna Boy’s loss at the BET Hip-Hop Awards is a surprise to many, as he is one of the most popular and successful African artists in the world. He has won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album in 2021.
Yet, it is not the first time a big artist has lost all nominations at a major award show. In fact, one of the biggest artists in the world, Jay-Z, once lost all 9 of his nominations at the Grammy Awards.
Despite his loss at the Grammy Awards, Jay-Z is still considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. He has won numerous other awards, including 24 Grammy Awards, and he has sold over 100 million records worldwide.
It is key to note that award shows are just one way to measure success in the music industry. There are many other ways to be a successful musician, such as touring, selling records, and influencing other artists.
Burna Boy remains a successful and respected artist, even though he lost all of his nominations at the BET Hip-Hop Awards.
