“I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. I’m still puzzled” – Teniola Aladese Couldn’t Believe She Won An AMCVA

Teniola Aladese approached the AMVCAs podium Saturday night with a genuine surprise at winning a Trailblazer Award.

Although she planned to just sit in bed, study scripts, and eat pap and Akara in peace and solitude for the weekend, she revealed she was tricked by the producers of the event to come in for a meeting for a character she was being supposedly pitched as on one of the network’s shows.

Teniola revealed just how shocked she was to win in her competitive category right away. “E shock me oh!” she wrote in her first tweet following the announcement.

“First off, I wasn’t even going to go for the AMVCAs this year. I was just going to sit in bed, study scripts and eat my pap and akara in peace and solitude,” the trailblazer later tweeted. “But yesterday morning, I got tricked by the producers of the event, who I’m familiar with at Africa Magic, to come in for a meeting for a character I was being supposedly pitched as, on one of the network’s shows.”

But yesterday morning, I got tricked by the producers of the event, who I’m familiar with at Africa Magic, to come in for a meeting for a character I was being supposedly pitched as, on one of the network’s shows.

In the end, I ended up going to a tailor just outside my estate to turn my 2019 AMVCA7 dress into a skirt, and I threw on a @prettylittlething crop top from my wardrobe. Did Wuru wuru hair and told my make up artist @prettified_makeovers to do my face in 30 minutes.

Like I said on stage, “I’m freaking out guys. Can you tell?!”

God has a funny sense of humor. And he really is the best

By God, it can only get better
