Mercy Masika Does It Again! Check Out The BIGGEST Winners From Groove Awards 2017

One of the biggest awards in the Kenyan music industry went down on Thursday, June 1st, as Kenyans also marked Madaraka Day celebrations countrywide.

The Groove Awards 2017 were held at the KICC in Nairobi where some of the biggest names in the showbiz and entertainment attended, with some walking away as big winners while others went home empty-handed.

The awards have however been marred with controversy after some gospel artistes termed the ceremony ‘hypocritical’ after they failed to be nominated, while others felt that it was not right to nominate secular artistes in various categories.

Some of these artistes include Willy Paul, Bahati and Tenda Wema hitmaker, Ringtone.
