So we decided to give the Best Dressed Female award to Bobrisky ,since he has always been a very controversial person. At the end of the day, people started talking about it ,but some people are not happy. They started calling out Femi Adebayo ,who presented the award. He just presented it, it wasn’t his idea, he was not part of the judges. Nigerians shouldn’t slam him, please.”she explained.
