Kampala, Uganda | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Nigeria’s Rema and Tanzania’s Diamond Platnumz emerged as winners at the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards (MTV EMAs). Diamond Platnumz was awarded Best African Act, while Rema made history by winning the newly-introduced Best Afrobeats category, outshining nominees including Burna Boy, Davido, and Aya Nakamura. Rema’s collaboration with US pop singer Selena Gomez in ‘Calm Down’ earned nominations in the Best Song and Best Collaboration categories but didn’t secure wins.

Diamond Platnumz clinched the title of Best African Act, triumphing over competitors like Burna Boy and Asake. The 2023 MTV EMAs, initially set to be held in Paris, France, were canceled in October due to ongoing global events, particularly the conflict between Israel and Palestine. However, the winners were announced later, with the awards being presented to the artists.

Taylor Swift, a US singer, was one of the most notable winners, securing awards in the Best Artist, Best Live, and Best Video categories.

Below is the full list of winners at the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards (MTV EMAs):
