What a night! What a night! The most anticipated event  of the year took place in Johannesburg last night. And all the stars of Africa aligned for this year’s MTV Base Africa Music Awards.

As ever, we were living for the styles on the red carpet!

The winners of the night did not surprise us at all! Wiz Kid was the man of the evening, walking away with the most awards. Throughout the year this young Nigerian artist has worked tirelessly and we were so glad to see his talent applauded.
