The Koko Master D’banj has won himself an MTV EMA for
Best African Act, beating the other top African acts Mi Casa (South
Africa), Sarkodie (Ghana), Camp Mulla ( Kenya), including our very own Wizkid.
This is not the first time the Koko Master has stolen the lime
light, he previously won Best African Act at the 2007 MTV Europe Music Awards,
Artist of the Year at both the 2008 and 2009 MTV Africa Music Awards, and Best
International Act: Africa at the 2011 BET Awards.
D’banj will be going head to head next with India’s Alobo Naga
& the Band and Ahmed Soultan from the Middle East for the chance to
represent the region in the Worldwide Act category, which celebrates all the
music that MTV has to offer by showcasing artists from all parts of the world.
