This past Sunday saw the 2020 edition of the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) taking place. The annual awards show, which was hosted virtually owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, had live performances from the likes of South African producer and DJ Master KG, South African rapper Nadia Nakai, Nigerian rapper Rema, Soraia Ramos from Cape Verde and several other considerable talents. There were also a number of notable big wins of the evening.

Unsurprisingly, Master KG bagged several big awards for his global hit "Jerusalema" featuring Nomcebo Zikode. The bolobedu house artist secured "Artist of The Year", "Song of The Year", "Best Male Southern Africa" and "Best Collaboration" for his stellar remix with Burna Boy. This comes off the heels of having won "Best African Act" at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards in a addition to the "Jerusalema (remix)" having been officially certified diamond status in France. Master KG's success this year has been unprecedented and he certainly shows no signs of slowing down.

Other winners of the night included Rema, who brought home "Best Male West Africa", Sho Madjozi with "Best Female Southern Africa", Nasty C with "Best Male Rap Act" and with Simi scooping up "Best Female West Africa". Burna Boy was awarded the "Crossing Boundaries with Music" honour which follows the release of his 15-track Twice As Tall album in August of this year. The album features the likes of Youssou N'Dour, Sauti Sol, Stormzy, Chris Martin and Naughty By Nature. Additionally, South Africa's amapiano king, Kabza De Small, walked away with the "Producer of the Year" award.
