The Billboard Music Awards are almost here. They are slated for 31 December 2024. The event, hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, will air live on Fox on 12 December at 8 PM ET/PT and will also be available on Paramount+ and Fire TV Channels.
This year, Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems, and Tyla compete for Top Afrobeats artiste. The top Afrobeats artiste category of the Billboard Music Awards 2024 will be intensely contested, as some of Nigeria’s finest artistes have been nominated for it.
Tems is nominated for Top Afrobeats Song with her track “Me & U.” She’s joined by Tyla, who makes a strong impression with three entries in the same category: “Water,” “Truth or Dare,” and “Jump,” featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
Burna Boy, who continues to dominate international charts, is also noted for his performances and hit collaborations.
Rema’s smash hit Calm Down, a global favourite, has made him a standout contender.
Asake’s rapid rise in the music scene and Tems’s soulful contributions have also contributed significantly to this recognition.
This category reflects the growing international influence of Afrobeats music and also marks a milestone for Afrobeats, showing its increasing prominence on the global music stage
