The MOBO AWARD finale took place last night, but only two Nigerian music stars come away with a win. Burna Boy and Rema were nominated in the Best International Act category alongside Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, the late Pop Smoke, Lil Baby and more.

The nominations was announced on November 24, 2020. The Music of Black Origin Awards saw Nigerian star, Wizkid, Burna boy, Davido,Fireboy, Rema, Adekunle Gold and Tiwa Savage make the list, but only two out of all these stars could pick up a win in an events which honours black music all around the world.

Burna Boy and Rema were nominated in the Best International Act category alongside Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, the late Pop Smoke, Lil Baby and more. In the best African act category, Burna Boy and Rema are joined by Wizkid, Davido, Fireboy, Adekunle Gold and Tiwa Savage. although Ghanaian star Shatta wale was nominated in another category and couldn't win, any inclusion from the above Nigerian name could've done that.

Looking at the nominations into categories, it seems they are all paired together to vie for the same award, although the concept of pairing in the MOBO award isn't really understood, maybe their country and style of music of music are the reasons for that, but if they had paired to contest independently, maybe more trophies could have been won by the Nigerian stars.
