The muso told Sunday World that this win affirmed his status as the King of Maskandi, saying he has no competition in the highly contested genre.

“This award has just confirmed that I’m the king of maskandi. It proves that people love my music. At this point, I can safely say that I have no competition in this genre. I am grateful and humbled by this award. I’ve always known that my time would come, and I believe this is my time."

On X, Nyovest wrote, "No ways. Tyla won a Grammy for water bro, but she didn’t get the Sama for Record of the Year at home? Haha, y’all are playing games."
