It was a star-studded event with musicians and celebrities galore gracing the red carpet and the performance stage. Check out photos from the night, after the click.
The energy in Durban must have been live on Saturday, when the 2014 MTV Africa Music Awards went down at Durban’s International Conference Centre. Some of the nights biggest winners included Davido, Sarkodie and Mafikozolo, Uhuru and Clarence Peters. Mafikizolo took home 2 awards including Best Group and Song of The Year; Davido won for Best Male and Artist of the Year; Sarkodie won for best Hip Hop; Tiwa Savage won for Best Female; Uhuru for Best Collaboration for his part in “Y-tjukutja,” and video director, Clarence Peters won two awards – Transform Today by Absolut, and Best Video.
Two new categories were added to the lineup with one of our favs, Lupita Nyong’o, winning the award for Personality of the Year and Tanzanian entrepreneur, Ashish J. Thakkar, winning the MTV Base Leadership award.
On the international side, celebs like Trey Songz, French Montana, Marlon Wayans (who hosted the event) and Khloe Kardashian were on hand for the festivities. Photos below.
