THE army of Winky D fans is partying again.
On Tuesday, the Zimdancehall star walked away with the African Dancehall Artist award at the Africa Golden Awards in Nairobi.
He beat continental heavyweights like Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Samini, Fancy Gadam, Sheebah Karungi and Buffalo Souljah.
Shatta Wale is Africa’s most awarded Dancehall Artist and the fifth most decorated artist in Africa.
Winky D’s fans seem to be confident that with his growing fanbase, his consistent chart-topping hits and his cultural impact across Africa and the diaspora is putting him into a position where he can dream of one say winning a Grammy.
Below are some of the comments from his fans after his latest success story:
I’m sure we can all agree that if the Grammy Awards were to be decided by the public vote and Winky D happens to be a nominee, he who’d win that award with the way his fans support him. — Tendai Stings

For those who fail to recognise Winky D as the pre-eminent sovereign of African dancehall, there exists a profound deficiency of discernment that warrants rectification. His repeated triumphs in securing accolades against the most formidable contenders serve as unequivocal testament to his distinction, placing him in a stratum far superior to his peers. Jah know. — Syden Bee

Kutorwa kwaitwa this award naBaba Zvaratidza kuti comparing Winky D to any of our local artists not just unfair . . . but embarrassing. Once Winky D pops up on the list, the winner is obvious. Kuudza mwana kuti pane anomisa Gafa, ichild abuse. — Tambaoga Mwanangu
