Speaking about his six nominations, obviously startled Asumadu said he feels special and believes his hard work paid.
“I feel very special for my 6 nominations,” the Kumerica-native said. “It shows my hard work has been recognized. From the street of Kumerica to the United States of America is a big deal for me and my fans.”
He owes it all to his fan base but most importantly believes votes count, therefore, he urged them to vote massively.
“I thank my fandom for been there for me from day one till now. I’m urging them to please vote for me and keep on supporting the DJ Asumadu.”
Asumadu eyes the “Best International Collaboration of the Year, USA”, “US-Based Best Rapper of the Year” and “US-Based Entertainment MC/DJ of the Year” categories.
