D’banj Wins Big At The 2014 World Music Awards

D’Banj aka Kokomaster has shown us why he is one of the most celebrated entertainers in the African continent. The Nigerian music superstar beat other African musicians including Fally Ipupa, Wizkid, Davido, Banky W and Iyanya in World Music Awards‘ “World Best Male Artiste” category. 

American actress and singer Miley Ray Cyrus who is popularly known as twerking mama, won two World Music Awards at Monte Carlo, Monaco. The singer won in the categories for Best Female Act and Best Pop Video “Wrecking Ball”. Stepping onto the stage to collect her plaque, Miley wore a sparkly silver gown and also performed during the awards, in a floor-length, floral-patterned gown.

After a three-year hiatus, the massive World Music Awards returned on May 27 with a decked out ceremony in Monaco, and they certainly matched their global billing with a list of nominees that included Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and so many more.
