Ghanaian singer MOLIY is receiving another major boost in her quest for Grammy recognition as her collaboration with South African superstar Tyla, titled ‘Body Go’, has been included in Billboard’s final predictions for the Best African Music Performance category at the 2027 Grammy Awards.
In its latest Grammy forecast, Billboard tipped the collaboration as a strong contender for one of the nomination slots, highlighting its potential to earn recognition from Recording Academy voters.
According to the publication, ‘Body Go’ has an edge over Tyla’s other competing entry, ‘I Don’t Care’ featuring Babalwa M. Billboard believes that a nomination for the collaboration would give voters an opportunity to recognise Tyla, who has already made history in the category, while also giving MOLIY another opportunity to receive Grammy recognition.
The publication also referenced the disappointment surrounding MOLIY’s ‘Shake It To The Max’ in the previous Grammy season, which failed to qualify because of an eligibility issue.The prediction places ‘Body Go’ among a competitive list of potential nominees, alongside Tems’ ‘Big Daddy’, Angélique Kidjo and Ayra Starr’s ‘Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back?)’, Wizkid and Asake’s ‘Jogodo’, and Davido, Mayorkun and FOLA’s ‘B4 B4’.
For MOLIY, the prediction represents another encouraging development following the international success of ‘Shake It To The Max’, which helped establish her as one of Ghana’s emerging global music stars. Her collaboration with Tyla further strengthens her visibility on the international music scene.
However, Billboard’s predictions are not official Grammy nominations. The Recording Academy is expected to announce the 2027 Grammy nominees on November 16, 2026.
If the prediction materialises, it could mark a significant Grammy milestone for MOLIY and another proud moment for Ghanaian music on the global stage.
