Nawti's video won the Best Video of 2012 Nigeria Entertainment Awards held on September 2, 2012, in New York City and was also nominated as the Best R&B Song at the Hip Hop World Awards. The reason why it was not nominated as Best Video at the "Hip Hop World Awards" was linked to the fact that it was directed by a Nigerian music director.
