It was what we can only describe as a show of assets by many of the stars/celebs who came out in large numbers at the recent "Mtv Road to Mamas Concert'', the prelude to the main deal- the 2014 MTV Africa Music Awards KwaZulu- Natal better known as the MAMA Awards, upcoming very soon in Durban, South Africa.

It was a show of pins (by that we mean legs) on the red carpet at the venue of the event, the Federal Place Hotel, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos. Even one of our favourite person on the red carpet, the ubiquitous Toke Makinwa showed off a bit of her well package not just pins even the chest in her very gorgeous 'Simiogieme bandage dress' these is the 2nd one in a matter of few weeks. She seem to have become the muse of the budding UK designer.

Away from Toksy, the night was a supersonic one in many respect, with many of the stars, the likes of Chidinma, Olamide, KCEE & Harry Song, Dr. Sid, Tiwa Savage, Mafikizolo & others giving very superlative accounts of themselves. Those who attended would not forget the beautiful night in a hurry. There were too many stars and celebs in attendance, just too numerous to start mentioning names. If this prelude concert to the award was this great, how would the award proper itself be like?

 Lagos| Nigeria, 30 April 2013: Fally Ipupa (@fallyipupa01) and Professor (@professorkalawa) are the latest stars to sign up for MTV Africa All Stars KwaZulu-Natal with Snoop Lion, the urban music extravaganza staged by MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) and KwaZulu-Natal Province in Durban.

MTV Africa All Stars KwaZulu-Natal is fast shaping up as the most exciting urban music event of the decade as Fally Ipupa and Professor join previously announced artists Snoop Lion (@SnoopLion), 2Face (@2faceidibia), Flavour (@2niteFlavour) and Zakes Bantwini (@ZakesBantwiniSA) on the bill for the concert.  

The event is being staged at the Moses Mabhida Stadium (@MMStadium), People’s Park, in Durban on 18 May.

Charismatic Congolese star Fally Ipupa, who first made a musical impact with hits like "Eternellement" and "Ko Ko Ko Ko" alongside veteran musician Koffi Olomide, is making a rare trip to South Africa for the All Stars gig.   Ipupa made his mark as a solo artist after the 2006 release of his debut album “Droit Chemin”. His 2009 album “Arsenal de Belles Mélodies” brought him to global attention; thanks to hits like "Chaise Electrique", a bilingual love song featuring former G-Unit vocalist Olivia.  Blending a silky smooth voice with a range of music genres from soukous to ndombolo, pop and R&B, Ipupa has won legions of fans and music industry accolades. In 2010 he took home two MTV Africa Music Awards, one for Best Video ("Sexy Dance" featuring Krys) and another for Best Francophone Artist.  Ipupa recently announced that he has been signed to Universal Music France for a 3-album deal – a significant endorsement for the DRC-based singer.

Well known for his jaw-dropping beats and catchy lyrics, Durban native and South African kwaito guru Professor hit the headlines with his first solo album “University of Kalawa Jazmee”, thanks to hypnotic hits such as “Jezebel”, “Lento” and “Jimaphi” which filled club dance-floors and dominated the radio airwaves across South Africa. Recognition of his talents came at the 2011 MTN South African Music Awards, where he won Best Kwaito Album, Best Male & Record of the Year, and Professor has since been making more waves thanks to the success of his second album, “Orientation”. 

For an awesome preview of what to expect at MTV Africa All Stars, check out the highlights of the MTV Africa All Stars, airing on MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) from 10 May.   Featuring high octane performances from Africa’s biggest live performers, the series takes us on an urban music odyssey from Durban (10th May @ 16.00 CAT) to Nairobi (17 May @ 16.00 CAT), before winding tour up in Lagos (24th May @ 16.00 CAT).
