Are we not good enough to host our own things as Africans?

That don't even make sense🤔

You misspelled “Aim global”

'Another One' Dj Khalid's Voice‼

Another one ❤

Bathong. They couldn't call Bonang? Or anyone else who's from Afrika

MTV wtf bathong? Was Bonang not available? Okay ke was Rebecca Malope not available too? Oh for fuck sake, we have Trevor Noah man, I mean there's so many hosts in Africa that you can pick from yet you go for someone who doesn't know how many countries are in Africa.

Why isn’t a black person doing this? I believe a black person should host the award cos it’s Africa we’re talking about here.

btw you got the wrong person for the job next time you wanna do something on a international stage that represents us please let bonang_m represent us. kind regards African Management

So many African people who could do this

where Reece will be taking an award and saying''I just wanna thank God my mama''❤️❤️

What an embarrassment

Why couldn’t MTV find an African to host the awards🤦🏽‍♀️

Omah_Lay come tell djkhaled about uganda he seems not to know

Does he even know the number of countries in Africa. Was there no eligible African who could have hosted the show?

Why nobody is talking about this

Plz don't ignore I'm desperate and running out of time this is not a scam. I've been battling cancer for 4 years and now it's spreading My mom is a single parent with no financial support cuz of covid. We need money for me to continue my treatments.Donate

You misspelled “Aim global”

MutatinaJR djkhaled This is the greatest opportunity for Ugandans, Uganda as a country and the world cause this will give u a chance to the real natural beauty. For Ugandans especially those in the service and tourism sector this means more tourists and more income, jobs! VisitUganda beautifulUg

ssebunyashaf2 djkhaled I don't know...not to throw a dim cloud over this but there are so many that wouldn't think twice before using this globally viewed event-to-be for their own selfish activism. Used well, it's perfect but could otherwise add fuel into this already raging media frenzy.
