The Nigerian music industry is taking the global stage at the 2024 MTV EMAs award with the nominations of five Nigerian artists.
The Nigerian nominees include Ayra Starr, Tems, Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema.
Ayra Starr leads the Nigerian contingent with 4 nominations for Best New Artist, Best Afrobeats Act, Best African Act, and Best Push.
For the Best New Artist, Ayra Starr will be up against Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, LE SSERAFIM, Teddy Swims, The Last Dinner Party, and South African star Tyla.
Tyla is also a favourite for the Best Afrobeats Act which she is nominated for alongside Burna Boy, Tems, Rema, Asake, and Ayra Starr.
All eyes will be on Tyla who made headlines after saying she represents Amapiano and doesn’t make Afrobeats after winning the Best Afrobeats prize at the 2024 VMAs.
