Aside from the actress, Afro gospel artist Akinade Ibuoye, popularly known as Gaise Baba, was also honoured as his song No Turning Back, which sparked mixed reactions online, especially among Christians, emerged as the most-watched video on YouTube in 2025, beating the likes of Davido, Wizkid, and others to the plaque.
Omoni won ahead of Itelediconstudio, which came second, followed by Uchenna, Mbunabo TV, Saira Movies, Maurice Sam TV, RuthKadiri247, ApataTV+, Uche Montana TV, Sonia Uche TV, and Brainjotter at 10.
Reacting to her win, the actress expressed gratitude to God, her family, friends, and fans.

Recall that Oboli's hit movie Love In Every Word 2 hit millions of views on YouTube within hours after it was uploaded on the platform.
