Egyptian rapper and producer Marwan Moussa has been voted Best African Rapper and Best Artist in African Hip-Hop at the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) 2022 edition that concluded Sunday in Senegal’s capital Dakar.
Initially, Marwan Moussa was given Breakout Artist of the Year award, before the organisers "rectified" the situation by awarding it to Nigerian star Asake instead. This ambiguity caused an ongoing confusion to a number of local and Arab newspapers and TV channels. The Egyptian artist himself shared many stories on Instagram about his trio-trophies.
Moussa, 28, won his two awards for Batal Alam ("World Champion") which enjoyed great success since its release last summer, gaining over 13 million views on YouTube alone and becoming a favourite TikTok sound.
Due to his absence, Marwan Moussa’s two trophies were received by Moroccan singer Faouzia, who saluted both him and Egyptian and North African music artists and fans. Faouzia herself has also been voted for Best Female Artist in Northern Africa and Best African Act in Diaspora in the female category.
Marwan Moussa, who has released a number of albums, is most known for his song Sheraton. His album Florida, which he released last year, kept its place among the top listens on Spotify; a platform that named Moussa the third most listened-to artist in the Arab region in 2022, after Wegz and ElGrandeToto.
