Nigerian music heavyweights, Wizkid and Davido, have been announced as winners at the 56th NAACP Image Awards, which aired on February 22, 2025 on BET and was simulcast across multiple networks.
Wizkid won in the category of ‘Best Contemporary Duo or Group’ for “Piece of My Heart”, his sultry collaboration with Brent Faiyaz which melds his fluid Afro-Pop touch with the American singer’s pensive R&B stylings.
Davido, on the other hand, secured the ‘Best International Song’ award for his contribution to Chris Brown’s “Hmmm”. This marks another milestone in Davido and Chris Brown’s collaboration, following their 2024 victory in the ‘Best Contemporary Duo’ category for “Sensational”.
