As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It’s the moment we’ve all be waiting for, and quite frankly, the moment I’m sure most of us predicted. The 10 Hottest Artists in Nigeria 2014 countdown here on notjustOk.com has come down to the highly coveted #1 spot.
Our choice of #1 this year is virtually undisputed among fans of Nigerian music, industry stakeholders and the notjustOk Team of Judges. Infact, in the internal poll we conducted, all 8 notjustOk team members voted him as #1. That said, it is with great pleasure I present to you THE Hottest Artist In Nigeria for the Year 2014.
1. Davido Davido has practically won every award he’s been nominated in. Where do I start? Okay let me see how many I can list.
“Best Male” and “Artist of the Year” at MTV #MAMA 2014, “Best Male (West Africa)” and “Artist of the Year” at AFRIMMA 2014, “Best African Act” at BET Awards 2014, “Hottest Single of the Year” and “Male Artist of the Year” at NEA 2014, “Artiste of the Year” at City People Awards 2014, “African Artiste of the Year” at Ghana Music Awards 2014, “Artiste of the Year” nominee at the upcoming Kora Awards 2014, 5 nominations at the Upcoming Channel O Music Video Awards 2014, and most recently, “Best African Act” at the upcoming “MTV Europe Music Awards 2014″.
All these awards stem from the simple fact that Davido has made the biggest hits in the last 12-18 months. “Skelewu” dominated the last quarter of 2013/early 2014, then he followed it up with “AYE” which is arguably the biggest song in Africa this year. Let’s not forget monster hit collaborations like “Gallardo” with Runtown, “Nek-Unek” with MC Galaxy, “Number One” with Diamond Platnumz, “Daddy” with Reminisce, “Sexy Ladies” with Oritsefemi, “Shoki Remix” with Lil Kesh & Olamide, “Tchelete” with Mafikizolo, and the list goes on and on and on.
As for shows, Davido pulled a record number of crowds in almost every city he toured in the U.S and Canada. He’s been filling up Stadiums across Africa, and is currently headlining the Africa Unplugged concert in the U.K.
Endorsements? Let’s not even go into that. This young man has done it all.
For these numerous reasons, I believe I speak for the majority by declaring Davido as THE HOTTEST Artist In Nigeria (and Africa) for the year 2014!
Congratulations, O.B.O !!!
