Nigerian singer Burna Boy, has won the African artiste of the year at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) which held last night.
The singer has had a great year after also bagging multiple awards at the Soundcity MVP awards and nominated for the upcoming BET awards.
The VGMA was rather eventful last night as pandemonium ensued when Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale attacked fellow singer Stonebwoy while he was receiving an award prompting the latter to pull out a gun live on stage.
