Musicians from Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya have dominated the nominations for this year's MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) to be held on 10 October 2009 at the Indoor auditorium, Moi International Sports Centre, Nairobi, Kenya.
South Africa and Nigerian artists received an incredible 15 nominations while Kenya achieved 6 nominations – the best tally yet for the East African nation, which will be defending the Best Female Artist Category it scooped last year courtesy of Wahu Mathenge.
Nigerian music royalty and R&B superstar 2Face achieved the highest number of nods from the MAMA academy including nominations for Best Male, Artist of the Year, Best Video and Best R&B. Other male artists who got the most nods were South Africa's HHP, Kenya's Nameless and fellow Nigerian D'Banj – who are each nominated in three categories.
South Africa Afro Soul songbird Lira, who is scheduled to perform at the awards, topped the list of female nominees, earning two nods for Best Female and Artist of the Year. Other contenders in a strong Best Female line-up include Kel (Nigeria), Amani (Kenya), Zamajobe (South Africa) and Lizha James (Mozambique).
Kenya's neighbours in the East Africa region, Uganda and Tanzania also made it to the list contributing five nominations between them.
Five US artists and one British band were also nominated. They included Akon, Beyonce, Kanye West, Green Day, Jay-Z and Coldplay.
MTV and Zain have signed up Haitian-born urban music legend, artist, musician, writer, producer and hip-hop rebel Wyclef Jean as the host of the 2009 MAMA Awards. Wyclef follows in the footsteps of renowned BBC broadcaster and DJ Trevor Nelson who hosted the first annual MTV Africa Music Awards held at Abuja's Velodrome stadium, Nigeria in 2008.
Inaugurated in 2008, the awards aims to champion and celebrate the passion, impact and creativity of Africa's best contemporary music artists.
There will be performances by Wyclef Jean, Lira, M.I., Samini and Wahu. The winners will be unveiled on 10 October 2009 at the Indoor Arena, Moi International Sports Centre, Nairobi, Kenya.

Blu3, Wahu, Fally Ipupa, 2Face, A.Y., and Samini are just some of the many acts who will be rubbing shoulders on the red carpet with the My Video finalists at the MAMA Awards. Other artists set to perform include Akon, Wyclef Jean, Lizha James, Nameless, D'Banj and the Mo Hits Allstars and Zebra & Giraffe.
The MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain will air on DStv and MTV partner networks AIT (Nigeria), STV (Nigeria), CTV (Kenya), WBS (Uganda), TBC1 (Tanzania), TV3 (Ghana), ZNBC (Zambia) and RTGA (DRC) from 17 October 2009; it will also air on MTVNHD, MTV Network International's high definition TV service which launched in September 2008, and which is currently available in 21 countries worldwide (Argentina, Belgium, Caribbean Islands, Chile, Columbia, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Venezuela, Uruguay, UK & Ireland).

Akon Foolishness at the 2009 MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain
October 10, 2009
You can take a man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of him, the saying goes. So, Wyclef dares Akon to do 20 pushups on stage during the MAMA Awards. They agree and part of the agreement is to strip to their boxers, I guess? Wyclef as you can clearly see strips down and so does Akon. But, of course Akon had to take it a step further into foolishness? Akon takes his mic and puts into his boxers. The rest is self explanatory. Pure foolishness!

Ingawa AY na Shaa, wasanii waliokuwa wakiiwakilisha Tanzania katika kuwania tuzo za MTV Africa 2009 hawakubahatika kuondoka na tuzo yoyote, lakini wameonesha njia kwa wasanii wengine. AY alikuwa akiwania tuzo ya Msanii Bora wa Hip Hop na Shaa alikuwa akiwania Msanii Bora Chpukizi, ambazo zote zimechukuliwa na MI wa Nigeria
