Ugandan music star Edrisa Musuuza, popularly known as Eddy Kenzo, floored Nigeria’s Davido and Emmanuella to win the favourite African star category of the 2018 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.

The excited Eddy Kenzo announced his latest feat on his Facebook page and shared the video.

He thanked all the fans that voted him and performed a victory dance.

Owing to their respective successes in the continent, fans of Davido and Emmanuella expected that one of them will clinch the award — but sadly they were defeated by 28-year-old Kenzo.

He is best known for his 2014 song ‘Sitya Loss’. In 2008 he was featured in the popular song Yanimba by Mikie Wine. His breakthrough 2010 song, Stamina, was met with critical acclaim and was used as a theme song for Yoweri Museveni’s presidential campaign

The ceremony took place in Inglewood, California, US, on Sunday. The winner was determined by voter preferences and other considerations.

Other African stars nominated for the award are Casper Nyovest (South Africa), Caster Somonya (South Africa), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), and Eddy Konzo (Uganda).
