“The Edison Award is the most prestigious Dutch music award show, celebrated annually.
“Burna Boy becomes the first ever Nigerian to be nominated for the award.
While reporting its monetisation for his nomination for the Edison Award, the jury said that “The Nigerian Burna Boy is sensation in world and pop music.
“His music is unmistakably African, but fits seamlessly into today’s pop music culture.
” ‘African Giant’ contains a challenging mix of Rap, RnB, Reggae and African pop music and reminds at times of the also Nigerian great Fela Kuti.”
