The C.R.E.A.M Platform, in collaboration with MTN Nigeria, has announced the first batch of Top 10 winners in the MTN Best of the Streets talent competition. This digital contest, launched to highlight raw, untapped musical talent from across Nigeria, opened its submission portal on May 1, 2025. Artists now have the chance to gain exposure and develop their careers through daily, weekly, and monthly prize opportunities.
After just one week of exciting competition, which saw hundreds of submissions and tremendous social media engagement, the first Top 10 winners have been selected. These artists were chosen based on votes from their communities, including family and friends who supported them across social platforms.
The week’s winner, Anifowoshe Adedayo, clinched the top spot with his impressive cover of “Koko” from Dbanj’s album The Entertainer DSequel. Other winners include Samuel Akolade Adufe, Igho Marvellous Holiday, Damilola Okedusi, and Kodak Ice Owa, among others.
As the competition progresses, these winners will receive valuable support, visibility, and opportunities for further collaborations, setting the stage for their continued success. Aspiring artists can still join the next round by visiting the C.R.E.A.M. platform or dialling *463# for further instructions.
