The self-acclaimed African Giant was nominated for the ‘Hip-Hop Artiste of the Year’, ‘Best Live Performer’, ‘Lyricist of the Year’ and ‘Hustler of the Year’ awards.
In addition, his 21 Savage-featuring 2023 single ‘Sittin on Top of the World’ earned him ‘Best Collaboration’, ‘Best Hip-Hop Video’, and ‘Song of the Year’ nominations.
According to the nominees list made public on Thursday, 21 Savage and Cardi B led this year’s nominations with 12 nominations each while Drake followed with nine nominations.
Alongside Burna Boy, DJ Khaled was next in line with seven nominations.
