Moozlie & Scoop Makhathini To Bring Real Hip Hop Energy To MMA26 Greenroom. The hip hop community is buzzing after Metro FM confirmed Moozlie and Scoop Makhathini as the official Greenroom hosts for the 2026 METRO FM Music Awards, set for 25 April.
The announcement has been met with excitement across local hip hop circles, as the awards platform places two respected voices from the culture at the centre of the backstage experience. Moozlie brings her signature charisma, bold personality, and deep connection to the scene, while Scoop Makhathini adds years of insight shaped by documenting and shaping South African hip hop.
On the main stage, Lerato Kganyago and Lawrence Maleka will lead the show, with Lamiez Holworthy handling the Black Carpet and Zola Mhlongo serving as the Voice of God. Still, it is the Greenroom pairing that has captured the attention of fans.
With Moozlie and Scoop at the helm, viewers can expect unfiltered conversations, behind-the-scenes moments, and an authentic reflection of hip hop culture as artists step off stage and into a more relaxed space. The duo is expected to create an atmosphere where real stories are told, and genuine reactions take centre stage.
The 2026 edition of the awards is shaping up to deliver high-energy performances and memorable highlights, but for hip-hop supporters, this hosting choice signals something deeper. It reflects a commitment to preserving the culture’s voice in spaces that matter, allowing artists to engage without filters or dilution.
Moozlie has grown into one of the most versatile figures in South African entertainment, effortlessly balancing music, television, and radio. Scoop Makhathini stands as a respected historian of the culture, known for amplifying local hip hop through every era. Together, they form a pairing that blends personality with credibility.
For years, the METRO FM Music Awards have served as a stage where hip hop artists are celebrated and recognised. This year’s Greenroom hosts suggest a renewed focus on authenticity, ensuring that the culture speaks for itself where it matters most.
As 25 April approaches, anticipation continues to build. The spotlight may shine on the main stage, but the real conversations are set to unfold behind the scenes, where Moozlie and Scoop Makhathini will be holding it down.
