Channels Television reports that Nigerian artists enjoyed a strong night at AFRIMMA 2026 in Dallas, with Davido, Tems and BNXN among the prominent winners.
Davido’s fifth studio album, 5ive, was named Album of the Year as the awards returned after a two-year break and expanded into a broader African music and culture festival.
Reports Nigeria separately notes that Davido “wins Album of the Year,” while Benin Web TV’s coverage of the event confirms the Dallas ceremony and Real Warri Pikin’s Best Stand-Up Comedian honour.
Echotitbits take: The results reinforce Nigerian music’s continued visibility across African diaspora award platforms. The next signal will be whether the wins translate into additional touring, streaming and international collaboration momentum.
