Nigerian singer Burna Boy broke his streak of award show losses by winning Best African Music Artist at the 2024 iHeart Radio Music Awards.
The event, hosted by Ludacris and aired live on FOX, also saw Rema’s ‘Calm Down’ ft. Selena Gomez win Best Collaboration of the Year.
Beyoncé received the iHeart Innovator Award, while Cher was honored with the iHeart Icon Award. Taylor Swift dominated with six awards, including Artist of the Year.
Burna Boy and Rema now join Wizkid and Tems as the only Nigerian artists to win iHeart Radio Music Awards. Burna Boy had faced multiple award losses previously, including at the BET Hip-hop Awards, Grammys, NAACP Image Awards, and Brit Awards.
