Willy Paul and Bahati not nominate in the 2019 Groove Awards

The nominees for the 14th annual Groove Awards were unveiled at an exclusive red carpet event held at the Kenyan National Theatre on Wednesday night under the theme “Better Together”.

Familiar faces yet again dominated the list which has 23 categories.

Some for the leaders in this year’s nominations include Jabidii, who led with 11 nominations including.

Jabidii was nominated in; Artist of the Year category, Collabo of the Year, Song of the Year, Teens Choice Song of the Year (in which he received 2 nominations ), Reggae/Ragga Song of the Year, Breakthrough Artist of the year, Collabo of the year and Dance style/song of the Year. 

Rejected

Interestingly Bahati and Willy Paul were not nominated this time round. The two haven’t been really on the same page with the award since it banned them a few years ago then waived off their ban later on.

Last year Bahati rejected his award saying he didn’t want to be part of the event. Willy Paul appreciated for the nomination then but also wasn’t concerned so much about it.
