Marlon Wayans to host 2014 MAMAs in KZN
Marlon Wayans will be the official host for the 2014 MTV Africa Music Awards taking place at the ICC in Durban on 7 June. Wayans follows in the footsteps of previous hosts such as Wyclef Jean and Eve, who have hosted earlier MAMA events.
“Marlon Wayans is a hugely popular entertainment figure known and loved by African audiences from 'The Wayans Brothers' and his various movie roles. His irreverent humour and infectious energy will definitely make him a great host for the 2014 MAMA,” said Alex Okosi, SVP & MD, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa.
The lineup for MAMA 2014 includes R&B superstar Miguel, hip hop game changer French Montana, Nigerian sensations Davido, Flavour and Tiwa Savage and South African hit makers Mafikizolo, Uhuru, Oskido and Professor. More artists are due to be announced next week.
