Tanzanian artiste, Diamond and South Africa’s Cassper Nyovest emerged the biggest winners at the just concluded 2014 Channel O Music Awards held in Johannesburg, South Africa on Saturday night.
Both acts won 3 awards while Nigeria’s Davido, missed out on all the categories he was nominated for.
While Cassper Nyovest won “Most Gifted Male”, Most Gifted Southern” and “Most Gifted Video Of The Year, Diamond won “Most Gifted Newcomer,” “Most Gifted Afro Pop” and “Most Gifted East”.
Mavin records’ singer Tiwa Savage won “most gifted female” as 5 Star records’ lead act, KCee, won the “Most Gifted Duo, Group Or Featuring” category for his song, Pull over featuring Wizkid.
Rapper, Olamide emerged “Most Gifted West” for his hit song, “Turn up”.
Meanwhile, ace music producer, Donjazzy, disagreed with the organizers of the award on the winner of “Most Gifted Video of The Year” won by Cassper Nyovest.
The Mavin boss said Davido, who obviously is having a good year, should have won the award for his “Aye” video.
“My most gifted video award is Aye by Davido sha. #MyOpinion. He definitely owned 2014. #Okbye” he tweeted via his twitter handle, @DONJAZZY.
