AFRIMA 2019: Burna Boy Wins African Artiste Of The Year

Rave of the moment, Burna Boy’s year keeps getting better as the Nigerian superstar grabbed yet another trophy Saturday night following his Grammy nomination earlier in the week.

The African Giant was crowned the African Artiste of the year at the 6th AFRIMA staged at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.

He also won Best Male artiste in West Africa.

The annual event was attended by Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.

Almost like the Headies Awards a few weeks back, many of the Nigerian artistes who won awards, including Burna Boy were absent.

Most of them were represented by their managers, but award winners from other regions in Africa turned up for the show.
