The Grammy Award-winning Nigerian star took home the Best International Act and Best African Act awards at the 2022 MOBO Awards, which was hosted by Chunkz and Yung Filly, at the Iconic OVO Arena in Wembley London.
The Spaceship and Atlantic Records artiste is having a massive year, having only recently bagged double Grammy nominations for his album Love, Damini and the massive hit “Last Last”.
