Nigerian singers Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are among eight Nigerian artists nominated for the forthcoming MOBO Awards.
Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Asake, Rema, Ayra Starr, and Adekunle Gold will battle it out in the Best African Music Act category.
Also nominated in the category are South African duo Tyla and Uncle Waffles and Cameroon’s Libianca.

While Nigerian gospel singer Limoblaze was nominated in the Best Gospel Act category. He will contest the category with Annatoria, Guvna B, Triple O, and others.
This is, however, the first time since 2017 that no Nigerian artist was nominated in the Best International Act category.
