Olamide beats Yemi Alade, Cassper Nyovest to win TFA Prize in Entertainment

Olamide has clinched the prestigious Future Awards Africa Prize in Entertainment. Last night December 6, 2015, at the 10th edition of TFAA, Olamide beat Yemi Alade (Nigeria), Vanessa Mdee (Tanzania), Refiloe Maele ‘Cassper Nyovest’ Phoolo (South Africa), Anne Kansiime (Uganda) to clinch the gong.

  Although the YBNL rapper was absent from the event due to other obligations, a representative of his label picked the award on his behalf, while explaining that the ‘Shakitibobo’ singer was not in town.

Olamide has had a prolific year, with a joint album, a solo LP, and a number of chart-breaking singles which has propelled him to arguably the best artiste in the country for this calendar year.
 All of these achievements were recognised at the event, which held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Victoria Island aim to celebrate Africa’s brightest minds in various fields in the last 12 months.
