Wizkid and Davido Shine at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.

In a remarkable display of talent, Nigerian musicians Wizkid and Davido have been recognized among the winners of the 2025 NAACP Image Awards, highlighting their significant contributions to the global music landscape. The results of the 56th edition of this prestigious award ceremony were unveiled over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wizkid garnered accolades in the ‘Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration’ category for his enchanting collaboration with Brent Faiyaz. This victory marks a significant milestone, as it is Wizkid’s sixth win at the NAACP Image Awards, cementing his status as the most awarded Nigerian artist in the history of the event.

Conversely, Davido earned the award for ‘Outstanding International Song’ for his impressive collaboration with American artist Chris Brown. These accolades underscore the growing influence of Nigerian musicians on the international stage.

While other prominent stars such as Tems and Burna Boy were nominated, they were not successful in their respective categories this year. The NAACP Image Awards, organized by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, aims to celebrate outstanding achievements in the arts and media, and this year’s recognition of Wizkid and Davido is a testament to their artistry and influence.

As these artists continue to break barriers and redefine the global music narrative, their triumphs serve as an inspiration to aspiring musicians both within Nigeria and around the world.
