In 2018, Emmanuella was nominated in the Favourite African Star category alongside Davido but both lost the award to Ugandan singer, Eddy Kenzo. However, she has won an award on her comeback and will be hoping to clinch more awards, in the years to come. Ikorodu Bois who have received Hollywood recognition and recommendation over the past one year after mimicking top Hollywood movies and music videos such as Extraction, Money Heist, Roddy Rich’s ‘The Box’ and were also gifted equipment by Netflix, will have to try again and hopefully, they’ll win.
