His Fadza Mutengi and Kokai hit songs earned him the prestigious spots in the nomination list. Fadza Mutenge featuring Allanah was nominated twice in the Best Collaboration and Song of the Year category.
The artiste was nominated twice in one category, which is Best Collaborations. Fadza Mutenge featuring Allanah and Kokai featuring Nutty O were both nominated.

The awards were postponed from 6 February and will now be held on 20 February 2021.
In a statement ZIMA spokesperson, Benjamin Nyandoro said, “Zima wishes to inform all music stakeholders that the ZIMA2021 awards ceremony has been rescheduled.
“This has been necessitated by the ongoing developments around concerted efforts to curtail the further spread of Covid-19 and possibly find a lasting solution to this pandemic.
“We hope that by February 20th, the environment will be more conducive to hold the awards ceremony while still adhering to safe health practices.” Nehanda Radio
