Keep The only popular Nigerian music award is The Headies, MTV Africa Music Award (The MAMAs) & Nigeria Entertainment Award (NEA Awards).. Winners or act nominated for this awards are mostly chosen based on popularity.. That to say the article passes criteria 2 & 8 of WP:MUSICIAN. Since wikipedia did not note that the award must be a "major" so I don't think we should be adding our interpretation to it. Ayo Jay doesn't meet WP:GNG.. Since the article meet's two out of all it's criteria, it's set to be notable. It is also stated in WP:MUSICBIO that NOT all notable articles must meet WP:GNG. I understand it doesn't meet WP:GNG but it meets WP:MUSICBIO.--Obari2Kay (talk) 08:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep the subject passes GNG per Rolling Stone, RESPECT. Magazine, OkayAfrica, Premium Times and The Source, all thanks to his single "Your Number". Aside that, he is signed to a major record imprint, won and nominated some major awards and has charted thrice on Billboard.—Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 20:41, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
