In a remarkable display of talent and recognition, Nigerian artists have secured several nominations at the 2024 MOBO Awards. However, for the first time since 2017, there is no Nigerian artist nominated in the Best International Act category.
Among the standout nominations, popular Nigerian music producer P2J has been nominated in the highly coveted Best Producer category. With his exceptional talent and unique musical skills, P2J has become a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
Furthermore, Nigerian gospel singer Limoblaze has secured a nomination in the Best Gospel Act category. This recognition not only highlights his immense contribution to the gospel music scene but also showcases the global appeal of Nigerian gospel music. Competing against esteemed artists like Annatoria, Guvna B, and Triple O, Limoblaze is poised to make a lasting impression at the awards ceremony.
However, Nigerian representation doesn’t end there. South African duo Tyla and Uncle Waffles, as well as Cameroon’s Libianca, have also been nominated in various categories, showcasing the diverse talent from the African continent.
The highly anticipated 2024 MOBO Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on February 7, 2024, at the Utilita Arena Sheffield in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Known for celebrating black music and culture, this prestigious event promises to be a grand celebration of talent and creativity.
