MAMA 2016Olamide, Patoranking, Nasty C turn the heat up at Road to MAMA Apart from the performances, one thing MTV Base never jokes with at their show are the music pied pipers aka the DJs.

Besides looking out for who’s going to be nominated at any upcoming MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA), one other thing everyone looks forward to is the Road to MAMA tour. This year's Lagos leg of the tour which held on Sunday, October 2, 2016 at the Hard Rock Cafe was turnt not just because it was an MTV Party or because the drinks were free, it was the music and the way it was delivered. Lights, DJs and illustations Before the show kicked off, there was a press conference where the final list of the MAMA nominees reveals nominations in seven award categories including Artist of the Year, Best Female and Song of The Year. As guest arrived for the party, MTV Base refreshed guests with canapé , a never ending well of drinks and music. It was a very visual event - graffiti artist Osa gave people something to look at and bowl over as he brought to life inscriptions on a blank white canvas. There were mini TV screens showing moving animations positioned around the ground floor provided visuals to go with the music.
