Other African acts nominated in the same category include South African magician Wian Van Den Berg, Kenyan comedian Elsa Majimbo, Uganda's Ghetto Kids, and Bonang  Matheba from South Africa.

Emmanuella began acting at the age of five when she met Mark Angel during a family holiday. He opted to use her in his comedy shoot when the other children were having difficulty memorizing their lines. She landed a role in a Disney movie in 2018 after winning the award for Top Subscribed creator from YouTube two years earlier.

The Ikorodu Bois is a group known for mimicking famous personalities in their videos. In 2020, their acts attracted the attention of Hollywood filmmakers who invited them for the premiere of the second part of Extraction. Lead actor Chris Hemsworth had been so impressed with their imitation of some scenes from the film that he commented on their Twitter handle.
