Wizkid and Asake made history in Best Group. Tems had three nominations. Burna Boy was up for Best Collaboration. All of them went home empty-handed, and that is the more interesting story.
King Kosoko: The Battle for Lagos premieres on 28 August. It sits in a month of releases that suggests the industry has found a genre it can build on.

Burna Boy and Tems are nominated at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. The category created for their genre is not on the list.
Taiwo Awoniyi for a reported £17 million and Frank Onyeka on a permanent deal. A Championship club has just built a Nigerian spine, and the logic is better than it looks.
