South African Babes Wodumo and Nasty C were nominated in the Best International Act - Africa category, which was won by Nigerian superstar Whizkid.
Everyone was talking about Babes Wodumo's visa struggles, after she failed to apply for a US visa in time for the awards.
Babes and Mampintsha reportedly pitched up at the embassy less than a week before the actual awards ceremony, which meant they ran out of time to secure a US visa.
