The Soundcity MVP Awards 2016 held on Thursday, December 29, 2016 with thrilling performances from top African acts.
The show anchored by ace comedian, Basketmouth kicked off with DJ Neptune dishing out monster hits from his turn table alongside hypeman and Cool FM OAP Do2dtun.
First act on stage was Ycee followed by Niniola, Reekado Banks, Humblesmith, Koker, Falz, Mr Eazi, Adekunle Gold, Patoranking, Simi, Tekno, Lil Kesh, Victoria Kimani, Vanessa Mdee who definitely had the crowd mesmerized with her song ‘Cash Madam‘ and her sex appeal oozing all over the stage.
Some of the winners on the night such as Yemi Alade (Best Female Artist) South African revered rapper Cassper Nyovest (Best Hip hop Artist) and Kiss Daniel (Best Pop Artist of the Year) were not in sight to pick up their respective awards.
Tekno who missed out big at the Headies was eligible for this one organised by Soundcity and he didn’t fail to come out thankfully and receive his awards – and interestingly so received the most number of awards, on the night, including Listener’s Choice, Digital Artiste of the Year and Song of the Year – a hat trick you could say.
Olamide just like his commanding performance at his recently concluded OLIC 3 concert, was unarguably the most cheered and loved performer on the night, as he took the fans back to back with his array of popular hit songs, and much more, getting the fans singing along to the lyrics of the songs as the DJ turned down the record.
Celebrities present at the event include Tiwa Savage, Banky W, Darey, Ramsey Nouah, Clarence Peters, Noble Igwe, Ubi Franklin, Harrysong, Dj Kaywise, Moti Cakes, Dj Bobbi, Emmanuel Luther, Big Tak, Shedy K, Emma Nyra and Yung 6ix.
