Shauwn Mkhize speaks on walking BET red carpet after her viral video

South African businesswoman, Shauwn Mkhize aka MaMkhize has reflected on her BET Awards experience last month, including walking the red carpet.

Speaking to Metro FM, the Royal AM boss gushed on being a guest at the awards ceremony aimed at black entertainers.

Speaking to breakfast show hosts Mo Flava and Khutso Theledi, MaMkhize unpacked her adventure at the BET Awards.

MaMkhize as well as DJ Zinhle – who both have their own BET Africa reality shows; Mam’Mkhize: A Thanksgiving and Unexpected respectively – were two local stars who scored an invite to the event.
She said: “It has been an amazing experience. The production was so amazing..I would love to bring it to South Africa”. She added: “I have noticed two things, the production and the stage. The stage was big and performances moved from stage to stage”.

MaMkhize then moved on to talk about walking the red carpet. Of it, she praised the quality of the red carpet and the impeccable organization.

She continued: “They don’t allow your own photographer to come in. They bring different media from different countries to come and enter.

“When you get to the interviewing stage, they already know everything about you, they ask you relevant questions, that’s how profound it is”.

When asked if she found US red carpets to be “better” than South African ones, she added: “We just need to do more”.

But whilst MaMkhize gushed over her experience, she was seemingly unbothered about social media commentary about her.

In one particular clip that went viral – posted by the star herself on TikTok – MaMkhize struts her stuff on the BET red carpet. The Kwa Mam’Mkhize star is seen striking several poses in front of a field of photographers. However, none of them seem to pay attention to her.

Celebrity blogger Musa Khawula tweeted: “Shauwn Mkhize at the BET Awards posing by herself with no one interested in taking a picture of her”.

And many tweeps agreed with the observation.

@ThuliXakana: “This has to be the moment she realised she isn’t as rich and important as she thought she was”

@_Hadebe_101: “It serves her right..she loves too much attention”
