The MTV EMA 2022 will be held on November 13, 2022, in Düsseldorf, Germany, at PSD Bank Dome, according to an official announcement on the website. It is anticipated that MTV will broadcast the event live in more than 170 nations.

Black Sherif’s MTV Europe Music Awards 2022 nomination comes shortly after his victory at the recently concluded Ghana Music Awards UK where he bagged three awards. He was named the Artist of the Year, Hiplife/Hip Hop Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year.

Fans are hoping he will bring the awards home especially after losing out to Gabon-born French rapper Benjamin Epps in the ‘Best International Flow’ category at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards.
