Les gagnants des American Music Awards (AMA) 2022 ont été annoncés au Microsoft Theatre de Los Angeles, aux États-Unis, le 20 novembre, Wizkid et Tems devenant les vainqueurs africains.
Marquant son jubilé d’or cette année, les AMA récompensent les meilleures réalisations des artistes les plus populaires ainsi que des albums exceptionnels.
Wizkid a battu ses collègues pop stars nigérianes Burna Boy, Tems, Fireboy DML et CKay pour remporter le prix de l’artiste Afrobeats préféré. Cette victoire fait suite à la sortie de son cinquième album More Love, Less Ego, sorti le 11 novembre.
Wizkid a également remporté la catégorie Meilleur R&B aux côtés de Tems pour leur collaboration à succès « Essence », dont le remix a dominé la même catégorie aux BET Awards 2022. Pour ses efforts sur « WAIT FOR U » de Future, Tems a également triomphé dans la catégorie Favorite Hip Hop Song.
L’artiste américaine Taylor Swift, parmi les artistes les plus nominés de cette année avec six, a remporté chaque catégorie pour laquelle elle a été présélectionnée, y compris le prix convoité de l’artiste de l’année, ce qui fait également d’elle l’artiste la plus décorée de l’histoire des AMA avec 40 victoires en carrière.
