The 2024 edition of the decorated and highly-profiled MTV European Music Awards (EMAs) has successfully been held with a lot of surprises.
Held in Manchester on the 10th of November 2024, Rita Ora took center stage to host the colorful awards ceremony.
Female artists including Taylor Swift, South African songstress Tyla, etc made history on the night as their wins were unprecedented. Swift was the most awarded artist for this year’s edition as she won four prizes.
Tyla on the other hand tripled her wins, solidifying her high status in the African music industry. In a historic turn of events, she became the first African act to win three EMAs in one night.
American rapper Busta Rhymes was honored with the Global Icon Award. This year’s ceremony though was meant to celebrate and recognize hard working creatives, it paused to pay tribute to late former One Direction band member Liam Payne who passed away after falling from his hotel room balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
