For the second year running, Jabidii walked away with the most awards of the night, as he won in all the categories he was nominated for, except for the Artiste of the Year.
In the nominations Jabidii got the nod 11 times, the most in the history of the award, breaking the record that he set last year where he had received seven nominations. The awards attracted a big crowd, to the surprise of the organisers.
Through Pastor Kuchio, the organisers confessed that it was difficult to organise the awards due to issues that he did not want to get into but which Monday Blues learnt were financial, as many of their sponsors had pulled out.
