2021 Grammy Awards: Full List Of Winners

The 63rd Grammy Awards which was held yesterday was indeed packed with a whole load of surprises.

One of these is the fact that two Nigerians broke the age-long record to win a Grammy award.

This has never happened since the inception of Grammy awards, which makes many think there are politics and even racism in the process.

However, yesterday’s event has forever corrected this misconception as Wizkid and Burna Boy made Nigerians proud, emerging winners of the best music video award and best global album of the year award respectively.

Also, popular singer Boyounce won another Grammy award making it her 28th and winning the highest number of Grammy awards in history.

Meanwhile, there is Nicki Minaj who has never won an award.

While some find it to be unfair, others think she hasn’t sung a song worth winning the Grammy just yet.

Anyway, we have decided to compile the list of nominees of each category of the awards as well as their respective winners.
