On Wednesday, September 12, the International Executive Committee of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), in collaboration with the African Union Commission (AUC), revealed the official list of nominees for the 2022 edition.

Several Nigerian musicians have been nominated for the Award, which will be held in December 2022. With five nominations for his smash track 'Buga,' Kizz Daniel tops the Nigerian nominees. Kizz was nominated for "Best Male Artiste in Western Africa," "Song of the Year," "Artiste of the Year," "Best African Collaboration," "Best Artiste, Duo, or Group in African Pop," and "Best Artiste, Duo, or Group in African Pop."

Burna Boy, Davido, Fireboy, and Tiwa Savage are close behind with four nominations each.

Burna Boy has been nominated for "Best Male Artiste in Western Africa," "Song of the Year," "Album of the Year," and “Artiste of the Year”.

Fireboy was nominated for several awards, including "Best Male Artiste in Western Africa," "Song of the Year," "Artiste of the Year," and "Best African Collaboration."

Tiwa Savage was nominated for "Best Female Artiste in Western Africa," "Artiste of the Year," "Best African Collaboration," and "Best Artiste, Duo, or Group in African RnB/Soul."

CKay, Rema, Pheelz, and Asake are among the other Nigerian acts with several nominations.

In a pretty shocking tweet, Nigerian megastar Davido publicly questioned why South African DJ Maphorisa does not like him.

It all started when a rather arrogant Twitter user and Davido fan claimed that Davido introduced Amapiano to Nigeria and popularized the genre after appearing on Focalistic's 'K-Star' remix.

The post went on to suggest that Wizkid's latest single, 'Bad For Me,' was a desperate attempt to score a success following Davido's alleged importation of the South African genre.

The message elicited numerous responses, with Twitter users, particularly Wizkid supporters, engaging in various history lessons in an attempt to set the record straight.

As the debate over the initial interactions of Nigerian artists with Amapiano raged on, South African DJ, DJ Maphorisa, took it upon himself to set the record straight.

"Kabza & Maphorisa was the first to put Wizkid n Burnaboy on an amapiano song Sponono dat was a historical moment 3 years ago, research before tweet also it was the first time Wiz n Burna jumped on a same song together let it sink in," Maphorisa tweeted along with an emoji of an eagle commonly used by Wizkid.

Davido decided to air his thoughts in a tweet claiming that Maphprisa never liked him and he doesn't know why. "You've never liked me" Davido reacted.

"You’ve never liked me y? I’ve always been good to you …. Anyways! AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY NOW!!!!!! Chu chu chu chu chu" Davido tweeted in a post that has predictably been met with different reactions.

Various public spats between artists have recently been sparked by music stans. Ruger and BNXN had a social media spat triggered by a statement from an anonymous stan.

Burna Boy also recently had a Twitter spat with Wizkid's FC, whom he called illiterates. The impending clash between Davido and Maphorisa is the latest brawl instigated by a fan.
