MTV announced nominations for the 2021 MTV EMAs with Africa’s biggest acts from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, and Tanzania securing nominations.

Amapiano is globally recognized through artists such as South African “Ke Star” hitmaker Focalistic who bagged a nomination in the Best African Act category. Ghanaian Songstress Amaarae of “SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY” fame has also clinched a nomination in the category.

 

 

Wizkid and TEMS who both collaborated on the global hit “Essence” have each been nominated. Rounding up the list of African nominees is African superstar Diamond Platnumz of Tanzania.

African nominee Focalistic said, “To be nominated as the Best African Act at the 2021 MTV EMA’s means a lot to me. Taking my music to the world means that Amapiano is taking over and this a big stride for the genre and South African music. Let us make more noise and make sure we vote and bring this one home.”

“I am so happy and proud to be nominated at the 2021 MTV EMA’s, it means a lot to me, my generation, the Swahili nation and the whole of Africa, I truly appreciate it,” commented Diamond Platnumz.
