Last year Kendrick Lamar led the way with 11
nominations (and 5 trophies) and this year it’s Beyonce’s turn as she is ahead
of the pack with 9 nominations for her smash “surprise” album Lemonade. She is joined by the usual suspects
Drake, Adele, Rihanna and Justin Bieber. In the past the Grammys have been
criticized for favouring albums that do well commercially over those that are
critically acclaimed; especially when it comes to hip hop albums, but the way
Kendrick ran the show last year with his album To
Pimp A Butterfly deservedly winning big, it’s obvious that a concerted
effort is being made to address this accusation. This year Chicago born artist Chance The
Rapper made history by having the first streaming-only album to be nominated
for seven awards including Best New Artist and Best Rap Song.

Nigeria’s very own “Starboy” Wizkid was also one
of the nominees for his contribution to Drake’s global hit “One Dance”. He is nominated as a guest artiste
and producer and will pick up two awards if Drake wins since the award is now
presented to the main artist, the featured artist(s), the producer, the
engineer and/or mixer and the mastering engineer. This caps a brilliant 2016
for Wizkid who has gained international acclaim and awards including MTV Europe
Music Awards (Best African Act), 2016 MAMA awards (Best African Act), 2016 MOBO
Awards as well as the AFRIMA awards. He is also the first Nigerian to emerge on
the Billboard charts so it is extremely likely that his appearance on the list
of Grammy nominees will not be his last.
This year’s event will take place at the Staples
Center in Los Angeles and the host will be James Corden, an English actor/comedian and host of
The Late Late Show on CBS. Check out some of the nominees below:
