A few months ago, AFRIMMA released a list of this year's nominees, with Davido, Wizkid and Nasty C leading the pack with the most nods. Well, the fifth edition was held over the weekend, and each of these artists all deservedly took home at least one major award.
Wizkid took home the Song of the Year and Video of the Year awards for Soco Davido won the award for Best Male West Africa and Nasty C nabbed the Best Male Artist South Africa trophy. Other Nigerian acts who won big, include Yemi Alade, Burna Boy and Flavour.
Save for a few expectedly weird choices, we think most of the winners were more than deserving — especially the incredibly talented Burna Boy, who rarely ever wins awards. Hopefully, accolades like this will continue to spur them on to create even more fire music.
