Cameroonian rap artist Stanley Enow has been shortlisted for the “Best African Performance” category at the 66th Grammy Awards, to be held on February 4, 2024, in Los Angeles.

This pre-nomination stems from the success of his latest and most popular track, “Take Ova” which has amassed nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube in two months and is the subject of millions of challenges on TikTok.

The “Best African Performance” category is a new addition to the Grammy Awards, and it is intended to recognize and celebrate the best international artists from Africa. Enow’s nomination is a testament to his talent and his growing popularity around the world.

Enow’s nomination for a Grammy Award is a major achievement for Cameroonian music and culture. It is also a sign of the growing recognition and respect that African music is receiving around the world.

Enow expressed his excitement and gratitude about his Grammy nomination on social media. He wrote:

“Thank God for everything! I am happy to announce that we have been “considered” for the Best African Performance at the Grammy Awards.”

“I would like to thank all my fans, media, DJs, dancers influencers, etc. THE TEAM—for such a strong comeback with “TAKE OVA,” he added
