The win was a huge relief for East African music as a whole as
other nominees including Kenyans: Sauti Sol, STL, Victoria Kimani and Xtatic
did not get any award. This year’s CHOAMVA was largely dominated by West &
Southern African artistes. Only Victoria Kimani from Kenya performed her song
“Mtoto” in the list of performers that included Cassper Nyovest featuring
Okmalumkooklat, Burna Boy, The Soil, Khuli Chana, Buffalo Souljah, Wizkid, Aka
featuring Da L.E.S., KCee, Lizha James and Mafikizolo
The biggest category at the Channel O Africa Music Video Awards
is always the Most Gifted Video of the Year which this year featured a massive
12 nominees. In the end it was Wizkid who triumphed with “Azonto”, marking yet
another big moment in the career of the Nigerian star.
