Burna Boy, a popularly known Burna from Nigeria, won the prizes for Best Album and Best African Act, and Asake, a singer who dominated 2022 with an unprecedented run, took home the prize for Breakout Artist of the Year.

Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, better known as Wizkid, won the Best West African Act prize, while singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, won the Best Inspirational Song award for "Stand Strong" and the Best African Pop award for "High" with Adekunle Gold.
