The 59th Annual Grammy Awards are set to take place this weekend.
Beyoncé leads pack with nine nominations this year, closely followed by the likes of Drake, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift.
In terms of African artists, Nigerian man-of-the-moment Wizkid is nominated for his work on “One Dance,” he’s joined by newcomer Kah-Lo, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and others.
Some big artists are “boycotting” The Grammy Awards this year, echoing a sentiment that many musicians and fans hold: that the Grammys are irrelevant. They’re certainly not inclusive to African artists—can we move past the World Music category already?
But there’s still reasons to watch. Last year’s show did gift us with Kendrick Lamar‘s incredible and unapologetically African performance. It also gave Beninese icon Angélique Kidjo her third Grammy win.
We have all the details on the 2017 Grammys for you below.

But, we’ve asked ourselves, what do these nominations really mean for Nigerian music?
And, in a horribly predictable move from the Grammy 2017, Ladysmith Black Mambazo are also nominated in the World Music category.
Who’s performing?
Performances to check out
Beyoncé will be performing, just about a week after she announced she’s having twins. Other notable ones to keep an eye out for are Chance the Rapper, The Weeknd with Daft Punk, A Tribe Called Quest with Anderson.Paak, Adele, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Gary Clark Jr. and tributes to Prince and George Michael.
Katy Perry, Lady Gaga with Metallica (who thought this was a good idea?), Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood with Keith Urban and many more.
