The trio of Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema failed to clinch an award at this year’s UK’s highest profile music awards ceremony, Brit Awards.
The 2024 Brit Awards held at London’s 02 Arena on Saturday, March 2, 2024 on ITV1 and ITVX.
Burna Boy and Asake were nominated in the Best International Act of the Year category but lost to American star, SZA.
Similarly, Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ also lost the gong for the Best International Song of the Year to Miley Cyrus ‘Flowers.’
Despite the loss, Rema closed the ceremony with an electrifying performance of his hit song, ‘Calm Down.’
He became just the second African artiste to perform at the BRITs after Burna Boy who performed at the ceremony in 2019.
Meanwhile, Raye has extended her record as the artist with the most wins in one year in BRITs history.
She garnered six awards last night, including Best New Artist, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best R&B Act and Songwriter of the Year.
The BRIT Awards are the British Phonographic Industry’s annual popular music awards. The name was originally a shortened form of “British”, “Britain”, or “Britannia”, but subsequently became a backronym for British Record Industry Trusts Show.
