While the award ceremony was going on, the verified Twitter page of MTV Base Africa announced Nigerian pop star, Wizkid as the winner of the ‘Best African Act‘ category.
With the announcement, it meant that, Wizkid won the award ahead of Olamide, Black Coffee, Cassper Nyovest, and Ali Kiba
Now, there’s a twist and change of tone however.
That’s after the award originally given to Wizkid now seems to have been rescinded and given to his Tanzanian arch rival, Ali Kiba.
According to MTV EMAs official website, Ali Kiba is the new winner of the same category.
Wizkid celebrated the win on social media, and now, Ali Kiba has done the same while organisers of the award have kept mute on the confusion.
Ali Kiba while reacting to the news said: “Sasa ndio nimepata confirmation kwamba ni kweli tuzo inakuja Tanzania na vile vile mimi siwezi kuzungumzia, nitasubiri mpaka nizishike (I’ve just gotten the confirmation that the award is coming back to Tanzania, but I can’t talk much about it, I’m still waiting to receive it),”
Wizkid also reacted by deleting everything that concerns the award on his twitter & instagram pages.
We await the MTV EMA's official response to this matter.
