The suspense ahead of the upcoming 2024 Grammy Award has continued to build up with the seating arrangements for the ceremony revealed.
In a trending video capturing how the award nominees will be seated, it could be seen that Davido and Burna Boy have their tables close to A-list artistes just as they prepare for a historic night in their respective illustrious careers.
Davido is expected to seat in the table that has Ziggy Marley and within close distance of Megan Thee Stallion.
Burna Boy, on the other hand, has his seat reserved in the table that has 21 Savage and Brandy.
In another highlight, Taylor Swift and Lana Del Ray will be sharing a table on Sunday night.
