The Grammy Awards are being dragged for allegedly mistaking Burna Boy for someone else, a singer named Seyi Vibez. During a performance announcement, the Grammys shared a video that features both singers, but was screenshot to make it seem as though they mistook Burna for someone else.
Grammy Awards' performance announcement goes south
Counting down to the epic Grammy Awards ceremony, the Recording Academy shared several artists who will grace the stage for an unforgettable night.
Among the stars is 2021 Grammy winner, Burna Boy, making him one of the few African artists to perform at the ceremony. He will also be in the presence of fellow African stars, Musa Keys, Tyla, and Trevor Noah, who all bagged nominations.
During their announcement, CBS TV used a snippet of Burna's song with Seyi Vibez, Giza, to reveal his performance.
However, Twitter (X) user Pop Crave shared a screenshot where the commercial shows Seyi's face and started some drama, claiming that the Grammys mistook him for Burna. Nevertheless, the Grammy's shared an official announcement.
