The nominees list for the 2014 edition of the MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) awards has just been released, and it puts two of Nigeria’s hottest acts, Davido and Wizkid in the same category.
The two, who have become rivals all of a sudden due to a raging beef, will battle for the ‘Best African Act’ category alongside Nigerian acts – Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade and Dr Sid while others nominated include Fuse ODG, Dj Clock, Afrikan Boy, Mafikizolo and Mista Silva.
Since their renewed beef escalated two months ago, this is the first time the two stars would be placed in the same corner to battle for an award in the same category this year.
Already, Davido has won all the available awards for the Best African act in 2014 but the MOBO nomination would represent a level-playing ground for both stars to justify who is hotter as the year begins to wind down.
The MOBO awards would hold at the SSE Arena, Wembley London on Wednesday, October 22, 2014.
