The “2016 MTV Movie Awards” premieres across Africa on Monday 11 April, with the red carpet pre-show beginning at 20:30 CAT and main show at 22:00 CAT on MTV (DStv channel 130).

And comedy trio The Lonely Island kicked it old school in half-buckled overalls for a medley of MTV Generation Award-winner Will Smith’s greatest hits.
