The blue carpet was packed to capacity as more than four hundred people showed up to be part of the inaugural DStv Content Creators Awards.
Dressed to the nines, nominees, celebs, invited guests and sponsors strutted their stuff down the carpet, all eager to witness and celebrate the biggest winners of the evening, among them Nadia Jaftha, who not only bagged the biggest award of the evening, the DStv Content of the Year Award, but also took home the Comedy Award and Thumb-stopping Award.
However, some viewers at home – as per below tweet – could not help but decry what they referred to as the biggest snub of the evening, this had to do with the two noticeable omissions from both the nominee and guest lists, first up is the cast of one of the world’s biggest podcasts, the Podcast and Chill with MacG, as well as video content creator and funnyman comedian, Primo9teen, whose material has amassed 16 million likes on TikTok alone at the time of writing this.
