The MTV Africa Music Awards, which were scheduled to take place later this month, have been postponed.
In a statement sent to IOL Entertainment, a two-sentence statement said: “MTV Base is postponing the 2021 MTV Africa Music Awards. We will keep fans updated as we have more news.”
No reasons for the postponement were given. MTV Africa and MTV Base announced the return of the continental flagship award show in November last year.
The iconic MTV Base celebration, which showcases the ultimate in African culture, music, and creativity was meant to be held in what was described as “a re-imagined virtual format in partnership with Uganda, The Pearl of Africa on February 20 2021”.
