MTV Africa has announced the first ever Africa Music Awards

[steppertang]

This is really cool...im going to host it one day

[Quiteness]

Hm, really i think that MTV Africa is going to just help push not only American music onto the continent..but to support African music that sounds most like Western Music. I also find it weird i heard someone use the word Sub Saharan. Does MTV Africa divide africa into North and Sub Saharan? That's quite silly.

[nepsont]

And again, anyone especially western african will never accept the fact that such an award show can be made without the likes of Koffi Olomide, Meiway, Werrason etc even mentioned. I think they really need to consider renaming this award thing.

[nepsont]

well, Africa is just way too big and diverese to have 1 little MTV music Award. Maybe they should call this "English Africa award" or something like that becoz a great part of the continent which is french speaking relates to a total different type of music. Besides, if its African awards, where are the original african rythms? English africans rythms have too much hip hop and RnB influnce which really is not unique to africa

[adege01]

this MTV MAMA was just launched last year and i am pretty sure they will add more categories and genres in it....we just need to chill and watch what they gone do about it...just stop complaining coz it aint gone do any good...

[IhustleBilingual9]

[Afromina]

I do agree wit some of you ..Cuz when they prepared " Africa MUSIC AWARD" should think wiser and figure out that Africa is not one country,,its a fucking continent ,,so wht the hell was they thinking about?..Stupid MTV PUT your self together next time...Congo ,cameroun,Tanzania. Uganda ,Kenya Burundi,Rwanda Somalia,Ethiopia..Do they not exist?..

Stupid show..

[nhibrahim]

actually music from those countries suck!!!

[beenn15]

very narrow minded... some people actually think that you are really stupid... does it mean that you are?

I don't think so. They're just not used to your uncommon logic just like you're not used to African music.

[buildingabetterSA]

To all the people complaining, the only obvious reason why music from Cote d'Ivore, DRC, etc was not nominated is obviously because the music is either not good enough, or only is fitting for a small audience. You must all remember that the international median language is english, which means MTV's audience is mostly English speaking, and it is only logical if the MAMAs focus on english music, if English is the benchmark language. Perhaps an MTV West African awards for French speakers?

[2012africa]

they should call this award mtv african music award for only the english speaking countries in africa because i didn't see artist from any french speaking country like, Mokobe (mali), Fally Ipupa(drc), Jet set(ivory coast, senegal? and etc...

[2012africa]

yo this shit is fuckin stupid, they call this african music award, how come congo and ivory coast wasn't nominated this is bullshit. there's not party without coupe decale and ndombolo and ya know that for a fact.

[abrokenlife]

OMG CCTV for real? cool

[Roseamu]

What? I think this whole MTV nominations are bullshit! Cuz how can they have a MTV Africa without nominating Congo & Ivory coast??? Every Africans knows there can't be a african party without at least a congolese song plz it must be a non-african who came up with this nominations!!! I'm not hating on those other countries who got nominated, congratulations! But I'm just keeping it real. Coupe decale, Ivory coast is the main music in africa right now.

[mostsuccessful]

thats thE power of the media...they tell u hw bad africa is they dont tell you bout other positive things..

[TerryMoyaz]

Ko wassup with no Zimbabwean nominations? Not even one sha!
