The third category, Best Melodic Rap Performance, saw American rappers Lil Durk and J Cole take home the award for their song 'All My Life.' Burna Boy's 'Sittin’ On Top of the World,' featuring 21 Savage, was unable to surpass the competition in this category.

Burna Boy's fourth and final nomination in the Best Global Music Album category also ended in defeat. His album, 'I Told Them,' as well as fellow Nigerian artiste Davido's 'Timeless' album, lost out to the World fusion band Shakti's 'This Moment.'
