‘You Did it King,’ Diddy Hails Burna Boy

Hip Hop Mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combs has congratulated Burna Boy for his heroic win at the 63rd Grammy Award.

Burna clinched his first-ever Grammys on Sunday after emerging winner of the Best Global Music Album category for his 2020 album, Twice As Tall.

The singer was nominated alongside Antibalas (FU Chronicles), Bebel Gilberto (Agora), Anoushka Shankar (Love Letters), and Tinariwen (Amadjar). 

While congratulating Burna for this feat, Diddy, who was one of the executive producers of the Album, wrote:  “YOU DID IT KING!!!!!!!!! @BURNABOYGRAM #TWICEASTALL.”

Twice As Tall is a follow up to the singer’s critically acclaimed 2019 album African Giant. 

Three-time Grammy winner, Diddy was brought in to provide “fresh ears” when the album was 80 per cent complete.

In an interview with The New York Times, Diddy said about working with Burna Boy: “I’m on record that I like hit records. If they’re not hit records, I don’t like them.

“A lot of times when an artist wants to be coached or pushed to maybe a greater level, that’s where I’ve come in.

“He, as every artist, he wants his music to be heard by the world. He doesn’t care about crossing over. You know, he’s not trying to get hot. He’s not, like, ‘I want to be a big pop star’ — he’s already a star. He wants his music to be heard, his message, his people.”
