D'Banj was the evening's big winner when he walked away with the
prize for Most Gifted Video of the Year for his smash hit Oliver Twist -
a song which also won him the coveted Most Gifted Male Video prize.
Oliver
Twist was the first track released by the star following his signing to
Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music record label in June 2011. Oliver Twist,
which combines dance music and Afro-Beats was not only a chart topper in
Africa, but was a top 10 hit in the UK singles chart in 2012 reaching
#2 on the UK R&B chart.
To the crowd's delight D'Banj
performed the prize-winning track at the show, which took place at South
Africa's Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, Soweto. The awards took
place in a custom-built dome and were broadcast live to 53 countries.
The
awards were hosted by South Africa's Bonang Matheba and Nigerian
superstar Ice Prince. Performances on the evening included songs from
Mo'Cheddah, Oskido, SA's Khuli Chana, rapper Zues and many others.
The
Nigerian music industry dominated at the awards - with recognition for
Davido, P Square, Brymo, Tiwa Savage, Ice Prince, MoCheddah and D-Black
and of course D'Banj.
A tweet from D'Banj just hours after he won
read: "This year has been great and i have no one to thank but God and
you guys,im more humbled everyday .God bless u all.I'll #Never
dissapoint u."
