They include Davido, who has been a global sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Africa\u2019s rising star Tyla also has a good chance of taking home the award, thanks to her unique sound that is the talk of the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not forgetting Ayra&#8217;s undeniable charisma. Asake and Olamide\u2019s powerful delivery of Amapiano. And the phenomenal Burna Boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who will be crowned the inaugural winner of the Best African Music Performance award? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, here&#8217;s our ratings of their chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
