D’banj Loses Out On MTV Poll
koko master D’banj is no doubt a musical
powerhouse not just in his native Nigeria, but on the African continent,
with a slew of hits after hits that has earned him numerous awards both
home and abroad. But all these were apparently a little short of
earning him the MTV Iggy artist of the week as he lost
to Rwandan-born, Belgium-based electro-pop singer, Iyadede,
in an online poll that was conducted by the international music
television’s site on January 31, 2012.
Sabrina Iyadede, who won the artist of
the week poll, was born in Rwanda, but fled home during the mass murders
in the 90’s to France and then to New York. Her style of music is
described as a unique breed of soul-tinged versatile electro pop,
evidenced in her LP ‘Talking to God.’
The contest had five international acts
on its list, including; Iyadede, D’banj, Lady Leshur, Japanese
Himuro Yoshiteru and Brazillian Lulina. They
polled 36.46%, 32.37%, 17.85%, 0.98% and 12.33% respectively.
By this, the Rwandan born singer is to
be featured on a tell-all interview with the music station as the prize
for the contest which will be beamed live on the music channel to its
viewers.
