The nominees for the Soundcity MVP Awards have been unveiled and the competition is stiff this year. Wizkid is the most nominated artiste with 11 nods. Davido and Burna Boy are close behind with several nominations including the coveted African artiste of the year alongside Diamond Platnumz, Sarkodie, Yemi Alade, A.K.A, Nasty C and Tiwa Savage.
There is a new category in addition to the talents who would be recognized this year; ‘African DJ of the Year‘ would celebrate the most accomplished DJ on the continent in the year and the inaugural nominees are DJ Spinall, DJ Neptune, Prince Kaybee, DJ MicSmith, DJ Arafat, Black Coffee, DJ Xclusive, DJ Kaywise, DJ Vyrusky, and DJ Maphorisa.
In pushing the “Africa is Now” narrative, this year’s awards will honor excellent individuals and personalities in the areas of sports, entrepreneurship, creative arts, fashion, digital influence, and socio-political development as it ties into entertainment.
The award ceremony set to take place on the 5th January 2019 at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.
