MTV MAMA Awards 2014: Full List Of Winners

The MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) 2014 held last night at the International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa was hosted by African-American actor/comedian, Marlon Wayans, who couldn't pronounce half the names he was calling, but still handled himself. The event sponsored by Absolut Vodka, Airtel, the Kwazulu-Nattal Province, DSTV, and many more, maintained its pedigree with amazing collaborative performances by some of the best artists in the world...except for French Montana.

Flavour showed why he deserved the "Best Live Act" award, and Mafikizolo, Davido, Sarkodie, Trey Songz, Tiwa Savage, Yuri da Cunha, D'Banj, Dr Sid, Don Jazzy, Miguel, and all the other performers showed off their amazing stage craft...again, except for French Montana who was probably featured because he's now going out with Kourtney Kardashian and has to be properly compensated for his new role in the MTV's reality show.

Anyway, Nigeria's own Davido went in hard with the highest number of nominations, and came out with 2 awards. Clarence Peters had a great night too, as well as Mafikizolo, Tiwa Savage, and Uhuru. Check out the entire list of nominees and eventual winners below:
