“Literally, all the nominees are insane; they have literally taken Afrobeats so far. And I’m so honoured to be winning this award. You know,, it’s insane. But I just want to thank my team.
“I want to thank my family, the Tygers, for voting for me. Thank you to God, obviously. You know Afrobeats has opened so many doors for African music.”
