AFROBEATS sensation and Grammy awards winner Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, has been listed to perform at the 66th Grammy Awards.
The Record Academy, via an X post on Monday, January 22, announced that the Nigerian star and American stars Luke Combs and Travis Scott had been added to the lineup of performers at the ceremony.
