The comic has released a statement on Twitter saying he is unable to travel because of a severe ear infection that has affected his vocal chords.
He has been ordered to rest and has apologised to fans.
"Due to the infection and strain on my vocal chords the doctor has ordered me to rest. I desperately wish I could dismiss the doctor but the added risk of flying means the decision would be highly irresponsible and may cause further damage."
So sorry everyone...Please read below, far too much to tweet. #MTVMAMA2016 @MTVBaseAfrica @MTVBaseSouth pic.twitter.com/hPzpbvqWbC— Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) October 21, 2016
Organisers have confirmed that media personality Bonang Matheba will be replacing him.

Meanwhile, people have reacted with disappointment to the news while others have wished the comedian a speedy recovery:
Replacing Trevor Noah with Bonang is like ordering a steak and the waiter is like "sorry, we ran out of steak but here's a tuna salad".— Deep Fried Man (@DeepFriedMan) October 21, 2016
Soooo disappointed @Trevornoah isn't hosting the #MAMAs anymore. Like sab siras!!!! Was looking forward to it.— FillUpOrlandoStadium (@CassperNyovest) October 21, 2016
If really Bonang host the #MAMAs, I'll just assume that Trevor Noah wasn't the real host, was just a marketing strategy.— Barry Roux Fan (@Barry_Roux) October 21, 2016
So they used Trevor Noah's name to get tickets bought. I'm sure he got paid for that. Now y'all got Bonang 😂😂😂#MAMAs pic.twitter.com/rFRnLBEJtB— Yaa Asentewaa 🦄 (@Rose_Bud_Doll) October 21, 2016
Trevor Noah went ahead to share a video on her instagram page to appreciate those who have bothered to send him get-well messages
