This season of the reality show was characterised by months of intense musical contests involving over 3000 entrants from across the country. Over 16 million votes were recorded at the finale.

Kingdom, Francis, Akunna, Comfort, and Faith Jason were the top five contestants from the 11 who made it to the live shows from the audition stages.

The competition evolved from the final 5 to the last 2 contestants – Kingdom and Francis – who battled it out on Sunday in a keenly contested affair that saw Kingdom emerge the eventual winner.
