The 14th Annual Metro FM awards was held on the 28th February at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Conference Centre (ICC), in Durban. Music stars and celebrities came out in their numbers and finest to celebrate the greatness in the music Industry.
This is one of the most anticipated Awards ceremony following the ChannelO AMVA. Cassper Nyovest, K.O and AKA have been at the forefront of the taking and it’s made the competition and expectation between these 3 very stiff.
Cassper Nyovest took home the larger share of the awards at the ChannelO AMVA, top critics were very much sure the same would transpire at the Metro FM awards as the music landscape of South Africa is somewhat related.
This was exactly the case as expected, Hip hop artist, Cassper Nyovest scooped the most coveted awards and walked away with five trophies.
God is good, all the time!!! Thank you for all your votes #MMA14 A photo posted by @casspernyovest on
