Wizkid and Davido Battle for the 2017 MTV EMA: Full List of Nominees

The 2017 edition of the MTV EMA Awards is here and Wizkid and David are currently gunning for the Best African Act alongside other African artistes.

From the list published today, American singer Taylor Swift leads the nominees list with a total of five nominations, including Best Video for Look What You Made Me Do.

The usual suspects lead the pop category, while the Best Hip Hop category is totally dominated by male acts, which include Drake, Eminem, Future, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone.

It is surprising that no female made this cut.

Meanwhile, Rita Ora will host the award ceremony on November 12 in London, and the voting link is already up for fans to chose their favourites.

So, Wizkid or Davido? We’ll see how this plays out!
