The Nigerian artist’s sentiments are echoed by AKA. “I am very honoured to co-host this celebration of Africa’s finest talent with Naeto C. I won my first Channel O Music Video award in 2011 and two years later, being in this position is testament to my loyal following. Thank you to Channel O and the fans, it’s going to be a classic night,” he says.
