In part one of this article, I gave a comprehensive review of the rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria.
The concluding part of the article continues to highlight the shine of the two West African music Power houses.
Another category that is sparkling the dominion of the two music giants is the best female category.
Bubbly songstress Efya has been nominated in the
'Best Female' category and she will battle that
category out with Arielle T (Gabon), Chidinma
(Nigeria), DJ C’ndo (South Africa), and Tiwa Savage
(Nigeria).
With the year under review the sexy Ghanaian had a couple songs that kept her brand in the lime light.
Notable was her hit single, 'the best in me'.
She released her T.I.N.T mixtape, which is a collection of singles that didnt make the cut for her upcoming album: Love Genesis.
The Ghanaian African neoul soul singer although did well in the year under review, her Nigerian counterpart seems to be on a whole different level.
Tiwa Savage was the toast of fans in 2013. The 'eminado' hitmaker ruled the female world in Africa for the year under review.
She has been a force to reckon with. Pushing many of the Male Nigerian superstars under her sleeves.
If Kelly Rowland searches you for a collaboration then it means you are not just an African hitmaker, but a global brand.
She is the singer that can make your song go viral with just a line or two in it.
I am a Ghanaian but I don't see Efya giving Tiwa Savage a run here.
Moving on from the female world, the 'azonto' crooner: Fuse ODG is here again. The UK based Ghanaian is definitely flying the flag of Ghana high.
The MOBO award winner; Fuse ODG has been
nominated in the 'Best Pop' category. Also
nominated in that category are, Danny K (South
Africa), Goldfish (South Africa), LCNVL (South
Africa), and Mathew Mole (South Africa).
I have no doubt that the 'million pound' hitmaker will bag in the award.
Thghbuzz wishes our Ghanaian superstars the best and we hope they come home after june 7 with all 5 awards (which is a mirage)!!
