The young, hot and hype gathered at the National Indoor Sports Centre Saturday last for the ninth staging of the Youth View Awards. The glamorous red carpet arrivals featured stars from The Rock’s fashion, music and comedic spheres, and a splash of the corporate set, all catalogued by a 360-degree glam cam courtesy of telecoms firm and YVAs sponsor Flow. Vlogger Toni ‘Bella Blair’ Blair and disc jock ‘ ZJ Bambino’ handled hosting duties with a quirky, comedic chemistry that kept the audience energised. Award presentations were interspersed with performances by crowd favourites such as Tanto Blacks, Christopher Martin, Vanessa Bling and guest artiste Pia Mia. Refreshments provided by Lasco iCool and KFC kept temperatures low and energy levels high in the VIP section. Revel in the glam with your Wednesday Social.
