Another plus for Davido

This seems to be the best moment for artiste, Davido, as he is just a step to achieving another feat. Music Television (MTV) and Europe Music Awards (EMA) have announced him as one of the nominees in the Best African Act category for this year’s MTVEMA.

Davido is up against three other African acts; Goldfish (South Africa), Diamond (Tanzania) and Toofan (Togo) to slug it out for supremacy in this keenly contested category.

In addition, for the first time ever, MTV is putting an EMA nomination in the hands of the fans via social media, so music lovers everywhere will have the power to help select the fifth nominee for Best African Act.



Interestingly, Nigeria’s Tiwa Savage, made the wildcard list and if she is lucky to get enough votes, she would battle it out with the above mentioned acts.

This is the fifth year that MTV has included a Best African Act category in the EMA with the likes of 2Face [2005], Freshlyground [2006], D’Banj [2007 & 2012] and LCNVL [2013] winning the awards.

This edition will hold in November in Scotland.
