[Nifemi donald]

too bad for p raise to power 2,banky w, and dbanj.i am nt sad for twitwi,he made too much mouth before the award.

[Jumoke benson]

I actually thought D'banj would win something.so sad for him.maybe he should have stayed with Mo hitz because don jazzy won.
davzy,i don't see any ojoro in this one,it seems free and fair.

[Nifemi donald]

in years to come,i will like to see younger generations being nominated.psquare dbanj bank are too gud 4 dis.

[Omolewa akinyemi benson]

Banky w should have one at least one award.that is where the problem is with this awards.we don't know how they judge 

[Tade olaitan]

they call this future and i see already known singers and musician.the way we do things in this nigeria sef

[Jumoke benson]

Dbanj cannot win it because people feel he is gradually leaving the Nigerian Music Scene.I do not blame the organisers.

[Samueldayo1]

this people u mentioned are even already above those who should be fighting for future awards.

[Tina lawrence]

Wazobia fm's twi twi was one of the OAP's i was tipping.how he did not win is still baffling me.i am not really a fan of toolz.

[Nifemi Donald]
