Ghanaian popular award-winning Reggae/Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale has gotten a nomination at the 2021 MTV NMA awards for his contribution to Beyonce’s Lion King: the Gift album.

MTV Video Music Awards, abbreviated VMA, is an award show presented by the popular Television channel MTV to honor the best in the music video fraternity.

The annual MTV Video Music Awards ceremony has drawn millions of people from different angles to patronize the event.

The statue given to winners is an astronaut on the moon, one of the earliest representations of MTV, and was colloquially called a “Moonman”. However, in 2017, Chris McCarthy, the president of MTV, stated that the statue would be called a “Moon Person” from then on.

The statue was conceived by Manhattan Design—also designers of the original MTV logo—based on the 1981 “Top of the Hour” animation created by Fred Seibert, produced by Alan Goodman, and produced by Buzz Potamkin at Buzzco Associates.

The statue is now made by the New York firm Society Awards. Since the 2006 ceremony, viewers are able to vote for their favorite videos in all general categories by visiting MTV’s website (Wikipedia).

Shatta Wale is competing in the best category of “Best Art Direction” for Beyonce’s ‘Already ‘, which also features Major Lazer. He shared a short extract of the music video on his Instagram page to inform his fans about this new development.

“Go shatta Wale, Go Shatta movement @mtv Bless up ”, he wrote.
