Eddy Kenzo has yet again proved to his doubters that he is the best in the region, not Diamond Platnumz!
Over the weekend, the multi-talented Ugandan superstar bagged the Best Male Artiste of the year Award in East Africa at the 2021 All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA).
And indeed on Monday morning, overwhelmed by happiness, the Big Talent boss acknowledged the achievement as he shared the good news with his fans, supporters and well wishers. Taking to his Facebook page, Taata Aamaal shared a video of the AFRIMA award organisers announcing him as the winner in Lagos, Nigeria.
“Thank you, God, for making this possible for us again. Thank you All Africa Music Awards it’s always an honour. Thank you to my fans worldwide, Team Eddy Kenzo, thank you Africa, and thank you B2C Music Uganda and Spice Diana for representing us,” Kenzo posted.
To win the award, Kenzo beat other East African music icons including Tanzanians Diamond Platnumz, Harmonize and Ali Kiba, Rwanda’s music goat Meddy and The Ben, Khaligraph Jones, and Otile Brown from Kenya and Ethiopia star Gildo Kassa to take the award home.
All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) is an annual awards event. The awards event was established by the International Committee AFRIMA, in collaboration with the African Union to reward and celebrate musical works, talents, and creativity around the African continent while promoting the African cultural heritage.
Kenzo has also won numerous national and international awards, including a Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award in 2018, and multiple All Africa Music Awards. He was the first Ugandan artist to win the BET award in 2015.
