I’m glad this backstage award is over. we can finally get some rest!!
i Watched the award and honestly its the same person\people wins. Like best female Artist is ether Beyonce or Rihanna. Best female Hiphop is always Nicki Manji since she came in the Game, Best Gospal Artist always goes to Mary Mary. I mean Kirk flanklin and Yolanda Adams won befere but its most Mary Mary that takes its Home. But i was happy wen “think like a men” won the best movies.
@Ohemaa, agreed
@King kweku Quincy, agree
