Nigerian female artists also rated well with Best Female nods for Nneka and Sasha, and a nomination as Brand:New artist for Mo Cheddah. D’banj, a four-time MAMA winner, received yet another MAMA nomination for Song of the Year for “Fall in Love”.
MAMA 2008 Best Live Performer winners Jozi (Zuid-Afrika) notched up another ‘nod’ from the MAMA academy with a nomination for Artist of the Year. Six further South African artists were recognised by the MAMA Academy, with nominations for Teargas (Best Group), JR (Song of the Year), Black Coffee (Best Male), Big Nuz (Best Anglophone), Liquideep (Song of the Year) and The Parlotones (Best Video).

Fally Ipupa scored the highest individual number of the nominations with four separate MAMA award nominations. The charismatic artist from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), who is also performing at MAMA 2010, has been nominated for Artist of the Year, Best Male, Best Video and Best Francophone. Barbara Kanam brought the DRC nomination tally to five with a first-time nomination in the Best Female category.
East African artists continued their positive nominations run with five nominations from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Keniaanse Gospel crossover kunstenaar Daddy Owen is genomineerd voor de eerste keer in de beste Engelstalige categorie terwijl hiphop outfit P-eenheid krijgt een vermelding voor Best Group en Muthoni wordt opgenomen in de Brand:Nieuwe categorie. In Oeganda is er een eerste keer nominatie voor Radio en Weasle (Best Group) terwijl Tanzania's Diamond krijgt zijn eervolle vermelding in de Brand:Nieuwe categorie.
Naar aanleiding van het succes van MAMA Samini in 2009, Ghanese kunstenaar Sarkodie krijgt een eerste keer nominatie in de categorie Best Engelstalige.
Vier Amerikaanse mega-kunstenaars zijn om het uit te vechten in de Best International categorie die Rihanna die de meiden tegen Eminem ziet, Drake en Rick Ross in de ultieme urban muziek face-off.
Twee nieuwe categorieën in 2010 de omvang van kunstenaars in aanmerking voor de MAMA hebben verbreed. The Best Francophone category sees Gabon enter the MAMA race for the first time with a nomination for Ba Ponga, while Senegalese artist Awadi and Ivory Coast‘s DJ Arafat also pick up their first ever MAMA nominations. Angolan artists Cabo Snoop and Paul G pick up nominations in the Best Lusophone category alongside Mozambique’s hip hop queens Lizha James and Dama do Bling.
The nominees for the 2010 MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain were shortlisted by the MAMA Academy – a handpicked group of music industry experts and taste makers from across the African continent.
