The album earned her seven nominations, which included Album of the Year and Record of the Year for the single, ‘Abofra’, which featured Efya at the 2016 Ghana Music Awards.
On May 20, 2016, MzVee was nominated for the BET Awards 2016 – Best International Act: Africa category, and became the first Ghanaian female act to be nominated for a major BET Award.
