Nigerian top music stars, Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Tems, amongst others, have been nominated for the 2022 Ghana Entertainment Awards USA (GEA-USA).
The award show is slated to take place on July 8 at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York.
After two years of its absence due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which crippled virtually all sectors of the economy, the award returns this year with a different bang, honouring exceptional accomplishments in music, media, sports, events, and fashion in Ghana, the United States, and Canada.
Burna Boy, Davido, Tems, Wizkid, and Funke Akindele Bello were nominated in the category for Best African Entertainer while Black Sherif, Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, and KiDi were nominated for Entertainer of the Year.
