Nigerian pop artiste, Davido, won big at the just concluded Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).

The DMW boss edged out his Nigerian/African counterparts including Wizkid, Too Fan, Cassper Nyovest, Nasty C, Olamide and Tiwa Savage to take home the prestigious “African artiste of the Year” award.

Nigerian singer, Runtown, won the same award in 2017.

The new win adds to Davido’s inventory of awards.

At home, the superstar singer leads this year’s Headies Awards nominees list with the highest number of nods – six (6), with two of his hit singles (IF and FIA) competing in the same category “Best pop single”.

Prolific Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, took home “Hiplife/Hip-hop Artiste of the Year” and “Best rapper of the year” respectively while veteran Ghanaian singer, Naa Amanua Dodoo, was honoured with the “Lifetime achievement Award”

The event was held at the International Conference Centre in Accra, Ghana.
