What is an award show without mesmerizing, over the top, fashion extravaganza? Hopefully we’d never know. African celebrities from all over the continent shut down Lagos yesterday for the AMVCA 2022 and we can tell you for free that the red carpet was all we hoped it would be. Even better, we are sharing what we saw on the red carpet.
