Full Gist Of The AMVCA: The Good, The Bad And The Winners

Virtually all the celebrities were interviewed on the red carpet but some of the notable ones (those that stirred up controversies on twitter) were Geneveive Nnaji (thanks to her stunning white gown that exposed her tiny boobs, I even heard Denrele asking why You no wear underwear), Desmond Elliot (his new hair do…the dreads didn’t exactly fit him —–> that’s what tweeps said on twitter), Denrele (for being hypertive), Oluchi (for throwing a verbal bomb!!! she said “may the best one wins“) and the many celebrities that were sweating on the red carpet, making one wonder if the place was that hot – were the ACs not working?!



The event proper kicked off at seven and it was hosted by IK Osakioduwa & Vimbai Mutinhiri. Femi Kuti performed with his band on stage, Iyanya performed his usual song – Your Waist,  Banky W performed Yes/No, Tiwa Savage, Oh Tiwa, she honoured the late Goldie by singing her Say My Name before performing her own song and then the Sautisol guys from Kenya also performed.
And Yes, Vimbia the host changed like three times -why? Even Genevieve changed her outfit too…Tunde Kelani, Olu Jacob, Oc Ukeje, Mercy Johnson And Akin Omotosho were the Nigerians that carried the day at the event.

And finally many of the female celebrities were beautifully dressed in gorgeous gowns, Jackie Appiah, Liz Benson, The New Tinsel Girl, Stephanie Okereke, Rita Dominic, Nadia Buari…so many of them…they rocked!! oh btw, I forgot to add that Jim Iyke’s outfit, made him look like a mordernized village headmaster! And a quickie…someone just said “Who would ve tot Genevieve Nnaji and Funke Akindele would come back from the #AMVCA empty handed?”Yes oo,afta al d nominations.” Okbye!
