MTV has announced Queen B to reign over Trevor Noah as the host of the MTV Africa Music Awards.
The #MAMAs2016 will be broadcast on e.tv at 10PM on Saturday, 22 October.
The daily show host, Trevor Noah, has pulled out of his hosting duties at the last minute. This is due to a “severe upper respiratory and ear infection".
In a surprising lengthy announcement via an official statement, the South African comedian explained and apologised to his fans.
