Loot Love and Proverb to host Metro FM Music Awards
THE countdown is on for the highly anticipated Metro FM Awards and as the excitement builds, Proverb and Loot Love (real name Luthando Shosha) have been announced as the hosts for this year’s show.
This is the first awards show for Loot Love.
The media personality returned to the Metro FM airwaves this month as the co-host of The Touch Down with Tbo Touch, weekdays 3pm to 6pm.
But Proverb, real name Tebogo Thekisho, is no stranger to the stage and has an impressive resume as an MC.
“It’s an honour to host the Metro FM Awards 2024,” the former Idols South Africa host said.
“The SA music scene is constantly filled with rich, vibrant stories of our ever-resilient and evolving country and the nominated artists are testament to this.”
While Loot Love and Proverb have been bumped onto the main stage as hosts, last year’s 29th annual SA Music Awards (Samas) main stage hosts, DJ Sabby and Nomalanga Shozi, will be on the Motsepe Foundation’s sponsored Black Carpet.
The Best Mornings host and SABC1
presenter did an impressive job as Sama hosts, but their fashion is what everyone couldn’t stop talking about.
All eyes are now set to be on the Metro FM awards, with many wondering if it will live up to the hype. Last year’s ceremony was hosted by award-winning presenters, Katlego Maboe and Lerato Kganyago.
The awards are scheduled to take place next weekend in Mpumalanga, with Grammy award-winning superstar Tyla leading the Metro FM Awards nominations.
She has been nominated six times, including the categories of Song of the Year, for her hit song Water as well as Best Female Artist, Best Music Video, Best Viral Challenge and Artist of the Year.
Amapiano artists Kabza De Small and Tyler ICU have received five nominations each.
This year’s event takes place against the backdrop of 30 years of South Africa’s democracy.
The station is honouring this milestone with the theme “Black To The Future”, which is a celebration of the achievements and contributions of black artists in the music industry.
