In her acceptance speech, while receiving her award, Angelique applauded Burna Boy as one of the new breeds of African music.

She said:

“Four years ago on this stage, I was telling you that the new generations of artists coming from Africa gonna take you by storm and the time has come. This is for Burna Boy. Burna Boy is among those young artists from Africa that are changing the way our continent is perceived and the way African music has been the bedrock of every music.”

Just last year, Burna Boy’s real name Damini Ogulu won Grammys in the Best Global Music Album category with his 2020 album “Twice As Tall”.
