You know it's shtty awards even focalistic is nominated

ZAZUU song Gon win "STREET BANGER OF THE YEAR"

Eleniyan!

But I still envy that Gilbert Bani (A-Q) record, imagine going home with 'Best Rap Album' with no single released to promote the said album.

By the way, rest in peace to Victor Chujor-Idowu (Beats By Jayy)

There are level to this thing and to Portable, the buzz around his single with Poco Lee and Olamide and notably his grass to grace story is inspiring.

It look like Iyana Ipaja Frank Sinatra and Uromi Jon Bellion are finally getting the recognition they deserved. Brymo and Drille are just too good.

Someone's surname starting with letter A is a valid reason to break up

People wouldn't want their kids sitting in front during exams

Za ZOO
Son of grace in the zoo abi evil forest called zoo geria.. Sorry i mean Nigeria

A country where citizens are treated like caged animals. And all they know is to hate on each other via religous belief and tribe and ofc go enrich pastors in churches.

Yeye... Mschewww

Zazuuu

Why didn't they put him in "next rated"

Useless list

How can you prepare a list of best lyricist/rap song without Laycon?? Album of the year without Joeboy's SBBM?

Same Joeboy with the most streamed Album on Audiomark in Nigeria??

What's Portable doing on the list? Liya? Arya Starr? Magixx?

This yeye list na music label awards.

Portable Zazuu now up for a national award....I know Headies will not Zuzu...cos Zazu don Zeh..he owns the best street Hiphop award

There is definitely sense in nonsense.
.....
The moral lesson is don't be quick to dismiss nonsense. You might come back to bow apologise to same nonsnese.

Next rated na Buju hands down

May the best wins

Portable is a perfect example of grace.
Irrespective of personality grace abounds.

Dbull on this one!!!



If to say I had enough money to push my song never lived it would have gotten a couple of nominations you can click link in my bio to listen and confirm it

Happy for portable.

Why are people surprised that he is on there?

He had a great year and he is HUMAN.

Zazoo zeh must win street award. Even dumb hear the song this year.

Who go carry portable go America

I still wonder how this guy is getting to stardom. There's no song of his that's popular

Portable de Portable.... grace found you bro.

Rahkman:
Next rated na Buju hands down

Zinoleesky says hii

There's no Nigerian on the Best West African Artist of the year, yet they had the following list.


African Artiste Of The Year
–
1. Black Coffee (Nigeria)
2. Burna Boy (Nigeria)
3. Davido (Nigeria)
4. Diamond Platinumz (Tanzania)
5. Soolking (Algeria)
6. Wizkid (Nigeria)
7. Aya Nakamura (Mali )

BEST WEST AFRICAN ARTISTE OF THE YEAR
Amaarae (Ghana)
Angelique Kidjo (Benin)
Aya Nakamura (Mali)
Gyakie (Ghana)
Kidi (Ghana)
Nelson Freitas (Cape Verde)

Confused and trashy list as usual. No be by force to do award show..

If portable wins any category then i give up on nigeria

Although the guy is not loved by many people.............. zazuu is taking the award home for sure

Why are they hosting it outside the country? Has the Grammys ever been held outside of the US?

Cos to the best of my knowledge it is a local event unlike the likes of MOBO et al that are international and can be held anywhere. Perhaps our artists have outgrown their roots and the organisers yearn their participation?
