The Headies Awards 2016: Sarkodie, Stonebwoy nominated for African artist

The Headies are here again and among the tall list of nominees for this year are two BET Award winners from Ghana, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy.

The two with a very impressive track record have been nominated in the African Artist category. The two face Kenya’s music impressive group Sauti Sol, South African rapper Cassper Nyovest as well as South African producer, DJ Maphorisa.

Quite surprised as to why Wizkid who has had a very impressive year was missing from the list, www.nydjlive.com was adequately informed African Artist category “is a non-Nigerian award category for an individual African artiste or group with the most outstanding achievement, impact and infiltration into the Nigerian music scene in the year under review.”

Check out the full list of nominees.
