However, this is not the first time the talented singer and songwriter has won an AFRIMA award. In 2019 the Universal Music signee thanked AFRIMA for the recognition and opportunity after being nominated and winning.
“It’s something that makes me very happy; it encourages me to keep on working harder; it lets me know that there are people around Africa and around the world listening to my music. This makes me very happy, and encourages me to work even harder than I am.
“When I got nominated, I realized that AFRIMA isn’t just about picking the artiste with the most views or the most famous artiste. They were really looking into the art of the artistes, understanding where we are coming from, something you don’t find in many places. I’m just happy that they are able to see real artiste from afar and give them a platform,” she said in a previous interview.
Nikita, who embarked on her musical journey at a very tender age, has grown to win the hearts of many with her breathtaking vocals and unique music that has received much admiration and accolades.
