At the 2023 MTV EMAs, Nigerian artist Rema clinched the award for Best African Act, prevailing over other superstars, including Davido and Burna Boy.

The biggest winners of the night were Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, each bagging three awards. The 2023 MTV EMAs ceremony, originally set to take place in Paris, was canceled due to a precautionary measure aimed at safeguarding attendees traveling from various parts of the world, amid concerns related to the Israel-Palestine situation.
