The confusion created by the MTV EMAs over the ‘Best African Act‘ award presented in the Netherlands is generating mixed reactions online.
While Tanzanians stand by Ali Kiba and believe he’s the rightful winner of the award, Nigerians also believe Wizkid deserved the award even more.
Organisers of the award initially announced Wizkid as the winner before taking it back and giving it to Ali Kiba.
See reactions to the issue below…
So the MTV EMA Best International Act was first awarded to Wizkid… apparently wrongfully as Alikiba from TZ had the most votes. Awks

Ali Kiba won the MTV EMA vote, but they gave it to Wizkid. MTV EMA, ECK, and Steve Harvey should have been in charge of the US election.
