The BET Experience Africa 2015 Press Conference
Comrades, someway , somehow we have found ourselves in Johannesburg covering the BET Experience Africa! It would seem that all the dreams we have been selling have finally found a willing buyer! While we are here we might as well feign some form of journalism and do some work.
We were lucky enough to get invited to the press conference where we heard from BET International General Manager Michael Armstrong, and Viacom International General Manager Alex Okosi, Back Girls Rick founder Beverly Bond, NBA Africa head Amadou Fall, Mary J Blige, Raphael Saadiq, AKA, Emtee, Flavour, Diamond Platnumz, Fifi Cooper and host of other performers, speakers, designers and celebrity game participants.
If you are really suffering from higher levels of FOMO right now you can listen to the audio from the Press conference below. Sadly the audio feed that I got from the sound guy was not as clean as I would like so please try and tune out the white noise.
Early drop to make up for the missed week! The Twimbos are back with a fresh new episode, featuring frontline accounts from Nitefreak at Hinde, in-depth reports from Kigali, expert analysis of Sakhile Dube and Chidimma Adetshina's performances at Miss Universe, and shrewd diplomacy in their takes on the South African Mining standoff and El Salvador's gang prison. Enjoy!
