As expected, the maiden edition of the MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain (MAMA) exploded live on Saturday 22 November 2008 at The Velodrome in Abuja, Nigeria. The ‘Koko Master’ D’banj was the biggest winner of the night with three MAMA ‘Golden Microphones’ for Best Male, Artist of the Year, and Listener’s Choice. Kenya’s most sought after female artist, Wahu, took home Best Female. Best Video went to Ikechukwu from Nigeria for his video – ‘Wind Am Well’, while Alicia Keys won the honors in Best R&B.
