Canada awards pits Davido against Yemi Alade, Oritsefemi, others

Asides money and shows, there’s probably nothing that music artists crave more than awards. When they are interviewed, they don’t hide it that they want to win awards, especially the Grammy. And when an award’s nominees are announced, some who are not nominated actually feel badly because they know it will be another full year before they can be considered again for that particular award’s categories. And though they crave awards, they crave some more than others. In Nigeria presently, the Headies is the award that they really want to win. But even more important to them than the Headies are international awards like MTV EMA, BET, MOBO and others that originate from America and Europe which have a Best International Act, Africa category that really enhances its winner’s brand value because the winner will be known as the best in Africa. So, the Black Canadian Awards holding today in Toronto has a lot of significance for Africa because it has a best international act category that has Davido, Yemi Alade and Oritsefemi among its nominees. Others are Mafikizolo (South Africa), Edem (Ghana), Eddy Kenzo (Uganda) and Teeyah (Ivory Coast). Who will win the category tonight? Is it Davido, who has won such a category before? Or Oritsefemi whose Double Wahala made so many people happy? Or Alade whose Johnny is still racking up Youtube views? Or even any of the other nominees? The answer will emerge tonight, and you can be sure OOB will update you.
