Wizkid, Rema, others nominated for 2025 American Music Awards

The 51st edition of the American Music Awards is set to return and Nigerian stars are once again in the spotlight with Wizkid, Rema, Tems, and Asake nominated in the Favourite Afrobeats Artist category.
They are joined by South African Grammy-winner Tyla, who had a breakout success in 2023 and 2024 and has been firmly positioned as one of Africa’s most promising international acts.
Favourite Afrobeats Artist award was first introduced in 2022, with Wizkid making history as its inaugural winner, a landmark moment that showed the genre’s global reach.
The 2025 AMAs will be held on Monday, May 26, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, United States.
The ceremony will air live making it accessible to fans worldwide.
Actress and singer, Jennifer Lopez, will serve as host, marking her return to the AMA stage for the first time since 2015.
Lopez is also scheduled to perform.
The AMAs are also shaping up to be a major night for Kendrick Lamar, who secured an impressive 10 nominations—the most for any artist this year.
The categories include Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for GNX, and Song of the Year for Not Like Us, a song that’s become a centrepiece in his ongoing lyrical feud with fellow rapper Drake.
