The pan-African awards was easily the hottest, most exclusive party anywhere on the continent – with a multimedia package deal that included an international couture show featuring the likes of South Africa's Dax Martin and Nigeria's Mai Atafo and Tiffany Amber; and then unforgettable performances from Asa, Mo’Hits, R2Bees and lots of lush VIP pampering from Hennessey, impressive showmanship from host Uti and powerful production values from technical creative directors Jan Malan Umzingeli Productions.
And while there were multiple category nominations for established pop stars Banky W (7) and P Square(5), the former came away with two nods (Best Male and Viewers choice), and the latter with a single Best Editing SMVA for their video Danger.
And so multiple wins were more modest, Banky (2) and 2Face Idibia (2), with more Nigerian wins (8) than any other country, but with a far greater spread across nominees, with suprise wins for South Africas JR as Discovery of the Year and the Hit Producer award for late rapper Dagrin's creative partner, Sossick.
