Now kelly I’m ashamed to say I use to like you. your in africa taking awards on behalf of alicia keys. omg and to top that you performed. You were in one of the biggest girl groups you got 2 cd’s yourself and the only thing you can do is take somebody else shit. what happen to you gettin awards. kelly u went and got a new dress a new lace front to accept sombody else award. I see why you left the U.S IF I WAS MATTHEW I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU. what happen to “that come”

wut r guys talking about, because she performed in africa doesnt make her less an artist as before. And about picking up award on behalf of Keys, am sure the organisers would have asked her if she doesnt mind. Its no big deal. No wonder she loves in here in London.

Hey guys,
Seriously ya’ll Chill!!
Kelly, The Game, Flo Ryda where ALL in Nigeria for the first MTV Africa Music Awards (yes there’s MTV in Africa)
She was a performer at this event, so was Game, Flo Ryda, D’Banj and loads of other African artists. I’ve been to the MTV Europe Music awards and this show was no less than any other (it was actually better than most)
This was a strong career move and also a great performance from Her
It’ll air on ALL MTV channels so watch out for it.
Cheers

that’s cool taht she’s exposing herself to a varied audience. HoWEVER, accepting an award on behalf of Alicia Keys further makes you look irrelevant.

i’m just happy kelly is doing it big.she is inspiring little african girls and doing everyone proud.i’m happy for her.Africa however needs african women to inspire them but it starts from little steps so its all good.
It was an African Music Awards so i think we need to see more of the African artists whom the main focus of this awards show was on.can we see their talent please.

To those opposing to Kelly performing and receiving an award on behalf of peers, it appears that you lot have never known or seen the acts of a humble and noble person. If i may speak for Kelly, she is not snobbish to feel she is too good to mingle with others unlike some artist who would not dare set foot in Africa because they regard themselves DIVAS and rather in a higher league. For example, try to picture Beyonce or Pink sharing their stage spotlight with an African artist,you cant picture it because they think the sun shines out of their buttocks and yet humble Kelly gets knocked for doing good. So please stop all that smack talk against Kelly!

This goes out to all of you that thinks we Africans are low life people that shouldn’t be associated with.Well, know that you all are very wrong.
We are wonderful people with amazing talents, so if you think Kelly did wrong by coming to Nigeria, then i think you really have to get your heads examined. As for taking an award for keys, i would like to ask if you guys over there do not do the same or is it because we are Africans?
I LOVE YOU KELLY!!!
