MTV Africa Music Awards takes a break

The MTV Africa Music Awards will not be happening this year. This is as they undergo a revamp.

The awards which were first staged in 2008, experienced a three year break before. This was between 2010 and 2014.

The organizers have promised that the awards will return next year with a big bang.

“The MTV Africa Music Awards are the continent’s most influential awards. They recognise and reward musicians and achievers who have made the most impact on African music and youth culture,” one of the organizers said.

“At Viacom we have been working to reinvent the awards. This is to create a deeper music experience that will be more immersive for our fans and partners in 2018.”

The organizer said that great music that has emerged between the last MAMA Awards and the next, would be recognized.

“It’s important to emphasise that all the great music that has emerged during the period from the last MAMA to the next will be recognised for accolades.”

Last year, the MTV Africa Music Awards were staged in South Africa. Bonang Matheba hosted the event after Trevor Noah who was to host it, fell ill.
