Jah Prayzah nominated for MTV awards

Jah Prayzah, in the eye of a sex storm triggered by his former dancer recently, has something to smile about as his collaboration with Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz on song Watora Mari seems to be paying dividends.

The track released in August has been heavily rotated on international music station - MTV Base (DStv channel 322) and it is no surprise that Jah Prayzah has been included on the channel's awards nominees. Jah Prayzah was at the weekend announced as a nominee in the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) 2016 Listener's Choice category together with Uganda's Bebe Cool and Nigeria's Burna Boy among many others.

The awards ceremony taking place in Johannesburg at the Ticketpro Dome on October 22 will see Black Coffee (South Africa), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), Sauti Sol (Kenya), Wizkid (Nigeria) and Yemi Alade (Nigeria) battling it out for artiste of the year.
