Burna Boy on Sunday, February 4, performed for the first time at the Grammy Awards ceremony. He was joined by the iconic Brandy and rapper 21 Savage.
The singer performed ‘Sittin on Top of the World’ while accompanied by Brandy and 21 Savage.
Billboard in a ranking list released on Tuesday, said:
“For the first Afrobeats performance at the 2024 Grammys, Burna Boy pulled out all the stops. Backed by Brandy’s gorgeous vocals and 21 Savage’s detached, confident cool, he sang “Sittin’ on Top of the World” and demonstrated that is precisely where he belongs.”
“The lush, expansive stage — depicting a residential city block – and clever costume design (the color red tied all three performers together, despise their disparate styles) brought to mind an MGM golden era musical — and truthfully, the Nigerian star’s infectious energy and easy charm wouldn’t seem out of place in a Hollywood musical,”
Billboard wrote.
