The much anticipated awards go down on Saturday October 22 at TicketPro Dome, and if my whistling bird has it correct, this will be an epic affair, stru!
Why, you may ask- because the world’s famous Hip Hop star Future is landing along his entourage.
Despite nominated in the Best International Act category, he will give a live show-stopper of a show that will include hits such as Turn on the Lights, Same Damn Time and Stick Talk, among others.
On Friday, a press conference and cocktail party will be held to interact with the stars and sponsors in Sandton, according to the organizers.
Future joins African performers Diamond, Emtee, Kwesta, Patoranking Alikiba, Babes Wodumo, Cassper Nyovest, Nasty C, Ycee and Yemi Alade.
Also, to spice up the ceremony our own comedy legend and host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Trevor Noah will host the two-hour showpiece. Expect to be on your stitches, you’ve been warned!
