Popular Nigerian musician, Wizkid, also known as ‘Baba NLA’ keeps doing the country proud on the international stage. This time, he has become the first Nigerian music star to win three awards at the Billboard Music Award (BMA) held at the T mobile Arena in Las vegas, United States of America (USA) on Sunday, May 21, 2017.
Nominated for seven awards, the CEO of Starboy records won in three categories namely, Top Streaming Song, Top RnB song and Top RnB collaboration with Drake on the song, “One Dance.” All of these point to the fact that more people outside the country are paying attention to Nigerian music.
