    I think they both deserved to win something. There was probably just one award for Africa so they spilt it. Not bad though..

    linda ca't you people all see that something is wrong somewhere....they did not televise it...the second time in a roll....

    why did they treat africans this way.....EUROPEANS MAY ACCEPT AFRICA (MOBO WARDS) BUT NOT AFRICAN AMERICAS....

    THIS IS A SHAME

    There's no conspiracy people...Calm down. BET didn't air the Sportsman, Sportswoman or Best International Act(UK) either. That's just how they choose to do it.
