I was at the 2008 Soundcity Music Video Awards and it was a blast. Apart from starting a little late, everything else went very well. The performances were off the hook.
D Banj and Ashionye were the comperes and I must say that the Koko Master owned the night. He's the best compere I have ever seen. I mean he kept us laughing every single time he came on stage...D Banj is really multi-talented and humble. He deserves every success he gets.
Ashionye was well...beautiful, articulate, confident, well dressed and really carried us along.
My girl TY Bello finally won an award for Greenland. About time too.
The best performance for me apart from NAS of course, who really thrilled the crowd, was the Mohits Crew. Great Performance!
Asa and Faze who won awards were absent.

Oh by the way, Peter came to the event with Lola Omotayo. Munachi was there too, but she wasn't sitting anywhere near them. I guess that about puts an end to the Peter/Munachi love tango rumour. I like gossip right? lol!
See y'all soon!
