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.
Celebrating musicians
and achievers who have made the most impact on African youth culture throughout
the year, MAMA 2014 takes place at the ICC, Durban, South Africa
on Saturday 7 June. For the first time ever, the awards is premiering
