The MTV European Music Awards (EMAs) have announced their list of nominees for this year’s show, a month before the 5th of November event taking place in Paris, and one of our Amapiano artist Tyler ICU is among the nominees.
It is no argument that ‘Mnike’ is currently a global sensation from being played by the likes of Jay Z, Cristiano Ronaldo, and most recently Missy Elliot, and we can say it has been one successful track. As recognition to that, Tyler is nominated under the category Best African Act alongside the likes of Diamond Platnumz, Burna Boy, Asake and Libianca.
The organisers have noticed that afrobeats are now a global genre, and have now added a brand new category, Best Afrobeats for its 2023 edition. Artists featured as the category’s inaugural candidates include Nigerian musicians Davido, Rema, Burna Boy, Asake, Ayra Starr and French sensation Aya Nakamura.
Nominated for the Best Song and Best Collaboration categories is also Rema’s collaborative hit track ‘Calm Down’ with America’s Selena Gomez after the single clinched Best Afrobeats at the recent MTV VMAs.
Elsewhere, Taylor Swift leads the overall 2023 MTV EMAs nominations, followed by Olivia Rodrigo and SZA.
