The MTV EMAs held tonight in Seville, Spain and the ceremony has seen Nigeria celebrated as Burna Boy wins the Best African Artiste Act award.

The category had the likes of fellow Nigerian, Teni and other African acts such as Toofan, Prince Kaybee, Nasty C and Harmonize. It however was a huge night for the “African Giant” as he came top of that category joining the likes of Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage etc. as winners of the highly rated award.

Burna Boy however was not present at the award ceremony as he was flying so high at his massive concert at the 12,000 capacity SSE Arena in the United Kingdom, dishing out awesome performances to his London fans.
