Nawti

Nawti is a song by Nigerian recording artist, Olu Maintain. It was officially released on January 2012, as the first single from his debut album, Chosen One. The single was recorded in Nigeria and the video was directed by Kehinde Nayomi Smith, a Nigerian music director. Nawti's video won the Best Video of 2012 Nigeria Entertainment Awards held on September 2, 2012 in New York City and was also nominated as the Best R&B Song at the Hip Hop World Awards. The reason why it was not nominated as Best Video at the "Hip Hop World Awards" was linked to the fact that it was directed by a Nigerian music director.
