BET award wining artiste Eddy Kenzo is not happy. Eddy hs called out the organisers of this weekend's, MTV Africa Music Awards that went down in South Africa. The awards saw Kenyan pop group Sauti Sol brought the gong home.

Sauti Sol scooped the Best Group award beating off stiff competition from Mi Casa (ZA), Navy Kenzo (TZ), R2Bees (NG) and Toofan (TG) to scoop one of the key categories at the world acclaimed awards.

Sauti Sol were the only East African act to win an award at the ceremony that is traditionally dominated by South African and West African countries. This year, Nigeria bagged most of the awards.

After being named the winners, Sauti Sol, who had been nominated in four different categories, took to social media to thank their loyal fans across East Africa.

The Sitya Loss act doesn't understand how Cassper Nyovest won the award for Best Live Act while the online portal showed that he had the least votes of the four contestant.
