FULL LIST: Davido takes three, shines brightest at Soundcity MVP awards

After an impressive 2017 which saw him release three major hit singles without an album, the awards are no doubt bound to roll in for Afropop star Davido.

At the Soundcity MVP awards festival on Friday, the ‘IF’ singer was the biggest winner, taking home awards in three categories.

He was named African artiste of the year, won song of the year and best video.

His compatriots, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, won digital artiste of the year and best female artiste respectively.

South Africa’s Cassper Nyovest won for best hip hop while Ghana’s Sarkodie shared best collaboration with Patoranking.

Diamond Platnumz, a Tanzanian superstar, was named best male artiste.

The award ceremony and music concert was held at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos.
