Veteran rapper Navio has joined the many Ugandans who believe the country is ready to host one of the biggest awards in Africa; the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) 2021 edition.

The prestigious event will be hosted this month (February, 2021) in Uganda for the first time in the country’s history.

Despite many Ugandan netizens pushing for the event to be canceled due to political reasons, the Klear Kut rapper believes it is a good idea to embrace the opportunity.

"You can never say that this is a wrong time because it was just the perfect time for these awards to come to Uganda. They have been pushing it for two years so the deal was already concluded. They will be broadcasted worldwide and this is huge," Navio said on NBS KURT.

Last month, Bobi Wine revealed that the awards came at the wrong time because of the political environment in the country.

"MTV Awards were brought in Uganda amidst a time when they are trying to sabotage art. They were introduced in Uganda to try and show the world that we are good but the country is in turmoil," Bobi Wine said in January while addressing the arrest of Nigerian artists; Omah Lay and Tems.
