The nominees list for the 2017 Music of Black Origin (MOBO) awards have been released and Ghana’s Sarkodie proudly represents us, nominated for the Best African Act Award.
Sarkodie would be up against an immense challenge if he wants to win, with Wizkid, Davido and Mr Eazi leading the charge for the award.
Other African acts in the running include Wande Coal, Tiwa Savage, Tekno, Julz, Eugy and Maleek Berry.
The annual awards, held in the UK to honour Music of Black Origin, has Grime act Stormzy as frontrunner this year, with five nominations.
Stormzy, born Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo, Jr, is also representing Ghana, in a way.
