For many, the award should naturally go to Mayoekun, however with the politics and controversies that this category has brought over time, nothing is predictable.
Over the years, the Next Rated category has turned the backbone of the awards with the winner going home with a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).
The category was won by Mr. Eazi in the last edition of the award. Others who have won it includes Mavin Records Reekado Banks, Davido, Wizkid, Skuki, Wande Coal, Omawunmi, Skuki, and Sean Tizzle to mention a few.
