The MTV EMA 2024 is a global celebration of the year’s best in music, celebrities and culture. Ayra Starr leads the Nigerian contingent with four nominations for Best New Artist, Best Afrobeats Act, Best African Act, and Best Push.
For the Best New Artist, Ayra Starr will be up against Chappell Roan, Teddy Swims, LE SSERAFIM, Benson Boone, The Last Dinner Party, and Tyla.
The South African music star Tyla is also nominated for the Best Afrobeat Act alongside Burna Boy, Asake, Rema, Tems and Ayra Starr. Tyla made headlines after saying she represents Amapiano and doesn’t make Afrobeats after winning the Best Afrobeats prize at the 2024 VMAs.
