It's Africa but there's no other section to really post it but Hollywood.

....There's Nollywood in Africa and that's close to Hollywood! Soo.

 

:ohbi: Yes, this is also called "MAMA"s. Just like Mnet Asian Music Awards.

No, they didn't steal from Mnet.  

 

I don't think many people within that continent were even that aware of Mnet Asian Music Awards when MTV Africa Music Awards was created in 2008.

 

 

 

 

It was first created in 2008. Not because Africa just got a Music Industry, there's been a music industry but I think because it just took that long to really organize an event like this.

 

Africa has many different languages, cultures and countries in it. So I'd imagine it'll be quite difficult to organize an event like this for the entire continent.  :stare:   

 

Like there's portuguese, French, Arabic, Swahili, German, Danish, English, etc. etc. spoken within that continent.

 

I am very late with this.

 

TL;DR

This (the abbrviation MAMA) wasn't stolen from Mnet Asian Music Awards.

Asian music wasn't that known within Africa when MTV Africa Music Awards was created.

There's many different languages, cultures and countries within the continent of Africa.

 

Examples of languages spoken in Africa: Portuguese, Malagasy, Chichewa, French, Afrikaans, Arabic, Swahili, Berber, Kinyarwanda, etc.

 

Which is probably why MAMA (Africa) was created in 2008 and why it took so long to create it even though a music industry has been in Africa.

Thought they have one in BET. I would have a field day with this i probably wont.

 

BET Awards and MTV Africa Music Awards are 2 different things.

BET deals with African-Americans and the African diaspora...

MTV Africa deals with Africans....still living within the African continent. [And they don't all look the same. There's Africans that look white, Africans that look middle eastern, Africans that are really light, Africans that are really dark.]

 

Yes, there is a difference between Africans and African-Americans.

The cultures, languages, food, fashion and music are quite different from each other.

They also have different issues to deal with than each other.

 

On top of that there are some Africans that don't want to be mixed in with African-Americans. To the point that some state that African-Americans aren't Africans, they're just American.

 

Thank you very much for deciding to not as you put it, "Have a field day with this one."

 

 

love that host.. good actor and a good comedian xD

 

good music and looked like the African MAMA was more fun than the Asian one!!

 

Ah, really? To be honest I didn't watch Mnet Asian Music Awards this year...
