This yearâ€
According to Seye Kehinde, the publisher, “this yearâ€
The debut edition of the awards was held last year at Abeokuta, Ogun State but this yearâ€
“This year, much is expected from us because of the stunt we pulled last year and I must say categorically that we will not disappoint. Besides the high number of stars that have confirmed their attendance, we have also confirmed a couple of Ghanaian artistes who will not only be attending the event, but also receive awards and perform to the delight of our distinguished guests,†Kehinde stated further, adding, “we have dedicated the award to Da Grin not only because the talented rapper died at his prime or had an effect in the lives of millions of Nigerians, but also because he was very close to City People family. He was a very humble and pleasant person, so we thought he deserves it all and should be celebrated in death.â€
Ace comedians Ayo Makinde (AY)Â and Helen Paul will be compere. Also confirmed to perform at the award ceremony are Skuki, KC Presh, Jimmy Jatt, Mochedah, YQ, Pasuma Wonder, Naeto C and Jaywon, while comedians MC Abbey, Omo Baba and Koffi are expected to thrill guests with rib-cracking jokes.
