D’banj has been named ‘Best African Act’ at the 2012 edition of the
MOBO Awards. The hit maker clinched the title tonight, Saturday,
November 3, 2012 at the Echo Arena, Liverpool, UK, where the awards is
being held.
D’banj beat fellow Nigerian pop acts P-Square as well as his other
African counterparts Fatoumata Diawara, The Very Best, Spoek Mathambo,
Fally Ipupa, Sarkodie, Cabo Snoop, Camp Mulla and Amadou and Mariam to
walk away with the coveted prize.
Last year, D’banj was also nominated
but was beaten by Nigeria pop singer Wizkid.
This will be his first ever MOBO award which sees him join the list
of past Nigerian winners 2face Idibia (2007) 9ice (2008) and Nneka
(2009). D’banj recently lost out of the MTV Europe Music Award ‘Best
Worldwide Act’ category.
