As reported by DAILY POST, this marks Noah’s fifth consecutive year in this role, having served as host since 2021. The prestigious awards ceremony is set to take place on February 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.
This year’s nominations in the African Song Performance categories highlight the significant influence of Nigerian Afrobeats artists. Notable nominees include Burna Boy, recognized for his hit song “Higher,” and Asake, who earned a nomination for his collaboration with Wizkid on “MMS.” Additionally, Tems stands out as the only African artist with three nominations spanning various global music categories.

As the date approaches, anticipation builds for a night celebrating musical excellence and cultural diversity, reinforced by Noah’s unparalleled wit and charm as host.
Nigerian singer Euphemia Ekumah, known professionally as GoodGirl LA, has declared that she will never get married. The artist stated that no man is worthy of her, responding to a fan’s comment about her cooking skills. The fan suggested that her lack of culinary interest might hinder her chances of finding a husband. GoodGirl LA retorted, “I’m never getting married because no man walking this earth deserves a goddess like me, now what?” This statement follows the singer’s recent openness about her past struggles with depression, during which she faced criticism and feelings of inadequacy.
Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr recently joined British rock band Coldplay on stage during their “Music Of The Spheres” tour at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. The “Rush” singer performed her collaborative track “Good Feelings” and her new song “Hot Body” alongside Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin.
The concert was also attended by Inter Miami star Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela, who were shown on the stadium’s screens, much to the delight of the audience. Starr later expressed her excitement on social media about performing in front of Messi. This performance marks another milestone for Ayra Starr, solidifying her rising global presence.
Popular Nigerian music producer and artiste manager, Soso Soberekon, has proposed a celebrity boxing match between controversial social media personality VeryDarkMan and singer Portable. Reacting to their ongoing public dispute, Soberekon offered N120 million to facilitate the event.
In a recent Instagram post, Soberekon outlined the terms: N100 million for the winner and N20 million for the loser. He emphasized settling the dispute through physical confrontation rather than online arguments, stating, “Let’s turn this online cruise into real-life bruises!” The proposed venue is the KFT Event Center in Warri, Delta State.
This offer is not Soberekon’s first foray into funding celebrity fights, suggesting a continued interest in resolving public disputes through organized boxing matches. The offer awaits acceptance from both VeryDarkMan and Portable.
