Davido Scoop 3 Sound City MVP Awards; Gives Shout Out To Wizkid + Full Winners List
The highly-promoted Sound City MVP Awards held on Friday, 12th January, 2018 at the Eko Convention Center, Victoria Island, Lagos. The glittering ceremony which was hosted by 2018 Big Brother Nigeria Host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu witnessed the crème de la crème of the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Importantly, the night was reserved for African musical acts who made their marks on the circuit in the past year, while contributing to the growth of the universal language on the African continent.
As must have been expected, Nigerian musical sensations and heavyweights dominated the list of artists who scored the gong with Davido taking home the crown in three cateegories, while Maleek Berry enjoyed success on two of his nomiinated fronts.
In fact, the DMW Boss and Omo Baba Olowo (O.B.O) gave a shout out to former foe and now friends, Starboy, Wizkid who won an award himself on the night.
Other artists who won awards at the Sound City MVP Awards include Olamide, Tiwa Savage, Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania, Cassper Nyovest from South Africa, Sarkodie from Ghana, Distruction Boyz from South Africa and many others.
