The MTV EMA has come and gone, but its memories will remain for a while. The ceremony which took place in London opened with Eminem performing his new single “Walk on Water”, featuring Beyoncé. Demi Lovato, Stromzy, Kesher, Travis Scott, David Guetta and host, Rita Ora were among the other performers of the night. While our very own Davido won the best African Act – beating Wizkid and Tekno, Taylor Swift – the most nominated act with 6 nods – did not take any trophy home. The biggest winner of the night was Shawn Mendes, and he took home 3 awards, including biggest fans.
