The MTV Music Awards (MAMAs) has spent the last few months preparing a very special edition.
The edition set to happen in Uganda on February 20, 2020, has been postponed till further notice.
The continental awards that were scheduled to be held virtually with the center stage in Kampala have been pushed to a later date which MTV says will be communicated.
The awards were scheduled to be held virtually but hosted by the Pearl of Africa Hotel in Kampala. “MTV Base is postponing the 2021 MTV Africa Music Awards,” management tweeted without giving a clear explanation.
It added: “We will keep fans updated as we have more news.”

The awards have also been plagued by controversy from foreigners who asked artistes to boycott them.
The reason for postponement has not been highlighted by MTV.
The awards were organised by Uganda Tourism Board.
