LAGOS, Nigeria – It is less than one month to the seventh edition of the much-anticipated All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) 2021, and votes have long been stacking up for all 38 categories created to celebrate the best of African music.

The ‘Artiste of the Year’ category is one juicy nomination that, like the Midas Touch, if wielded by any artiste has the power to turn almost every situation into gold. This year is quite interesting as it is not just a battle of the greats, but a battle that infuses some of the most prominent voices ever in Africa’s music scene.

Past winners in the ‘Artiste of the Year’ category are Davido (Nigeria – 2014); Diamond Platnum (Tanzania – 2015); Wizkid (Nigeria – 2016); Wizkid (Nigeria -2017); Davido (Nigeria – 2018); and Burna Boy (Nigeria- 2019).

Here’s the list of some of your faves in the ‘Artiste of the Year’ category, this year: • Focalistic (South Africa) Burna Boy (Nigeria)  Aya Nakamura (MALI) Davido (Nigeria) Fally Ipupa (Congo) Wizkid (Nigeria) Makhadzi (South Africa) MHD (Guinea) Omah Lay (Nigeria) Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania) and Blaq Diamond (South Africa)
