Pop duo, P-Square, will battle it out with Davido, Olamide, Wizkid and Yemi Alade in the artiste of the year category.
The keenly contested Next Rated category, in which the winner walks away with a car as well as a plaque, has as nominees Mavin Records’ Reekado Banks and Korede Bello, Kiss Daniel, Cynthia Morgan and Lil Kesh.
This year’s edition features first-time nominees Falz The Bahd Guy, Mr. 2Kay, Small Doctor, Ugovinna, Di’Ja, Shaydee, Simi and Aramide.
