Nigeria’s D’Banj emerged as artiste of the year for the second year running at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs).

Wyclef dares Akon to do 20 push ups on stage during the MAMA Awards. They agreed and part of the agreement was to strip to their boxers. Wyclef as you can clearly see strips down and so does Akon,but Akon took it a step further by putting his mic in his boxers.
