Nigerian stars Wizkid, Rema, Asake, and Tems have all been nominated in the Favorite Afrobeats category at the 2025 American Music Awards.
After a busy 2024, which saw Rema release his second album "HEIS" and Tems release her debut album "Born In The Wild," both of which were nominated for Grammys, they will now compete for the AMA.
In 2024, Asake released his third album "Lungu Boy," while Wizkid released his sixth LP "Morayo." The success of their collaboration "MMS" earned them Grammy nominations for Best African Song Performance and also secured them a nomination for the 2025 AMA.
The Nigerian contingent will compete with South African star Tyla for the award. The awards ceremony returns for its 51st edition after being canceled in 2023 and 2024.
The AMA 2025 will take place on Tuesday, May 27. The ceremony will be hosted by Jennifer Lopez and will be broadcast on CBS.
