The Winners:
- Music Video of the Year: Onesimus – Controller
- Upcoming Artist of the Year: Emmie Deebo

While the accolades have been celebrated, some industry observers have raised concerns about the transparency and selection processes of such awards. Similar events across Africa have faced scrutiny over alleged favoritism and lack of clear criteria.
