| Rick Ross Meets NAMA: Can Local Excellence Match Global Star Power? |
A Rare Entertainment Collision
On February 28, the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) will unfold at the Harare International Conference Centre, while across town at the Hippodrome in Braeside, global stars Rick Ross and Omah Lay will command the night.
The Weight of NAMA
NAMA has long been regarded as Zimbabwe’s highest cultural honour. It traditionally attracts a formal audience — industry leaders, corporate sponsors, policymakers, and artists celebrating excellence across music, theatre, film, and literature.
Running under the theme “Fearless Creativity”, this year’s ceremony seeks to remind the nation that local art still carries power, relevance, and identity.
The Global Pull
On the other side of Harare, a different energy will dominate. The Rick Ross and Omah Lay concert promises a high-octane, international experience aimed at a younger, party-driven crowd.
When Rick Ross last performed in Zimbabwe, the audience included business leaders, celebrities, and socialites — proof that global star power cuts across demographics.
Local Artists Holding It Down
Supporting acts at the concert include Takura, Shashl, Freeman HKD, Feli Nandi, ExQ, Tamy Moyo, and Saintfloew, while NAMA will showcase a powerful mix of gospel, jiti, urban groove, dancehall, RnB, and hip-hop talent.
From Baba Harare and Sekuru Gudo to the Chillspot family and rising young stars, local excellence will be on full display.
The Question Everyone Is Asking
The real question may not be who overshadows who — but what Zimbabwean audiences value most. Prestige or hype? Tradition or global exposure? Cultural depth or festival energy?
What Fans Are Saying
Fans are split — and that’s the beauty of it. Some believe strong local performances and compelling nominees will keep NAMA dominant. Others feel the international concert represents the future.
One thing is certain: Harare will be alive, loud, and unforgettable.
