The Grammy award winner would also struggle to win the Video Director of the Year category with Asap Rocky, Dave Free & Kendrick Lamar, Director X etc. This is for his work in the visual interpretation of the monster hit single, ‘Last Last’.

The two other categories the African Giant crooner needs to overcome are the Viewer’s Choice category also for the track, ‘Last Last’; and in the Best International Act category.
