During the 9th African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) event, Beauty Tukura was named the “Best Dressed Female.” Her reaction to receiving the award was one of surprise, as she had not anticipated it.
However, Tukura, a former Big Brother Naija reality star, graciously accepted the title and expressed her gratitude. Beauty Tukura stated that she did not expect to receive a plaque, as she believed she would receive a cash prize of N500,000.
The former beauty queen revealed this on a podcast recently.
She said,
“I think Nigerians don’t really know how to appreciate realness. I don’t know how to explain it. The truth is, I’m just getting into the industry now. I have never attended an AMVCA before… This is me not even knowing that there was a proper physical plaque or anything like that. I don’t know. The only thing I heard was that they give N500k.
“I was thinking it’s a N500k thing and next thing, they are calling my name to come and collect an award. I was even bending, I was trying to hide. It was Tobi Bakre; he was in front of me. He said, ‘what are you doing? Stand up and go and walk on that stage.’
“Then I started walking. If you noticed, it was so awkward for me. I was walking, I was running. I didn’t know what to do…It came to me as a shock.”
