Out of all the years MTV could have nominated Linda Ikeji for the personality award, they decided to do it this year with Wizkid on the list. For peace sake it would be be better if a third party wins. Cause believe you me if either Wizkid or Linda Wins it, social media will surely crash down. Can’t wait to see what happens live! MTV where are my tickets!? n
