However, she found it disrespectful that the award ceremony was still being held in the United States.
Drawing a comparison with the BET Awards, Tacha pointed out that the BET Awards would never be hosted anywhere outside Africa, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating African talent on the continent.
Tacha also recalled past instances when African artists received their award plaques backstage at the BET Awards.
