2025 Grammy Predictions: Who Will Take Home the Crown for Best African Music Performance?
As the 2025 Grammy Awards approach, one of the most exciting and anticipated categories is the Best African Music Performance. With Afrobeats taking over the global music scene in recent years, all eyes are now on which African artist will clinch the prestigious award. Afrobeats, a genre rooted in West African musical traditions, has gained international recognition with its infectious rhythms, catchy melodies, and vibrant storytelling. This article delves into the winning predictions, and scores.
Who Could Win the Best African Music Performance Award?
Given the rise in Afrobeats’ popularity, several key players are seen as frontrunners for the 2025 Grammy’s Best African Performance category. Here is our predictions:
- Burna Boy – Higher
Burna Boy is known for his impactful lyrics and Afro-fusion sound, and Higher further showcases his depth as an artist, and its powerful, reflective nature has made it a favourite among fans. His previous Grammy success adds weight to his nomination, but does this pits him as a potential winner?
Prediction: It has a 90% chance of winning. - Asake ft Wizkid – MMS
Asake failed to clench the Grammy award last year, and is back as a nominee this year with Grammy winner Wizkid. MMS (Mr Money’s Sound) is definitely a jam, but does it have enough potential to win the Grammy this time? Well a third time they say is a charm.
Prediction: Most likely not to win. - Tems – Love me Jeje
Tems has a Grammy award to her name but not a solo one. With her unique sound that blends Afrobeat with soul and R&B, Tems Love me jeje is unquestionably in line for an award for her stunning performances and musical contributions in the Afrobeats genre.
Prediction: Poised to win - Yemi Alade – Tomorrow
With Tomorrow, Yemi Alade created a song that’s uplifting and catchy, making it a strong contender. She is a powerhouse with her vocals and high-energy Afro-pop style, and is no stranger to international acclaim, however this is her first Grammy Nomination.
Prediction: Most likely to win. - Chris Brown ft Davido & Lojay – Sensational
Chris Brown is one of the many artist who has tapped fully into the afrobeat genre, but we still question why and how this song made it into the Best African Music Performance category. Call it bias, but our prediction comes off our thought that this song should have never made it into this category.
Prediction: Not expected to win.
The competition for Best African Music Performance at the 2025 Grammys is bound to be fierce, but one thing is certain: Afrobeats is here to stay. With its growing influence on the world stage and a new generation of artists pushing boundaries, the category will remain one of the most exciting parts of the ceremony. Whether it’s Burna Boy, Yemi Alade, Tems, or Chris Brown, the world will be watching to see who takes home the award and set the tone for the next wave of Afrobeats domination.
