African music and youth lifestyle brand MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) has revealed that hip hop hit-maker French Montana is to join the line-up for the 2014 MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA).  The critically acclaimed hip hop star will be performing at the global celebration of African music, talent and youth culture, taking place on 7 June at the International Conference Centre in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

French Montana joins the star-studded line-up of previously announced African artists, including Miguel, Davido, Mafikizolo, Uhuru, Flavour, Oskido and Tiwa Savage, in the stunning music event and live telecast that will be broadcast around the world on MTV, MTV Base, BET International and affiliate stations.

Alex Okosi, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks Africa commented, “We are thrilled that French Montana will be joining Miguel and Africa’s most exciting contemporary artists in KwaZulu-Natal in June for the MTV Africa Music Awards.  MAMA 2014 is on track to be the most exciting music awards ceremony ever staged on the African continent.”


French Montana is one of the hottest artists on the contemporary hip hop scene.  The Moroccan-born game-changer emigrated to The Bronx, New York, aged 13, and quickly acclimatised to life in the city thanks to his infatuation with hip hop. 

Montana established himself in the hip hop genre in 2002 when he began releasing his “Cocaine City” series of DVDs which featured interviews with established hip hop artists and unsigned talent.
