A friend vowed never to watch or support the MOBO awards again. On the social media too are comments that can only be likened to the anger a lot of Africans were spitting out.
I was lucky to be switching between the BBC 1's 'The Apprentice' and the MOBO award so was not really angry - plus I was genuinely interested in the event styling/decor for the award as this is my passion (not very impressed there) and could not be bothered about the awardees. I did however noticed that although I got a mobile phone broadcast of the Gospel Award going to the Living Faith Connection from a friend (thanking all of us that voted for the support etc), I never really saw the live broadcast of the award being presented.
I don't understand why the MOBO award founder and the events team would allow the backstage presentation of awards to African Acts! They should understand the challenges of being able to take a stand as minorities. #Notcool.
I read my favourite publicist - DJ Abass' view on this non-broadcast of African Acts and knew immediately there is a problem! I do agree. Lets take a stand on this unappreciated attitude and go only where we are celebrated.
#Nuffsaid.
TeeOO.
