According to her, Burna Boy’s win is the best mother’s day present her son has given her. This is because the awards night coincided with the mother’s celebration in Nigeria.

Burna Boy’s Twice As Tall battled it out with Antibalas (FU Chronicles), Bebel Gilberto (Agora), Anoushka Shankar (Love Letters), and Tinariwen (Amadjar) to emerge the winner. The win marks Burna Boy’s first Grammy Award after being nominated last year.
