The recently concluded Abraynz Style and Fashion Awards featured pomp and glamour as it has always been. The talking point has however been the various bizarre fashions that were exhibited by some attendees like Emolsa, who showed up in what looked like a granary.
And the celebrities who were announced as winners for various categories are cursing the organizer, Abraynz. They are grumbling.
Howwe has exclusively gathered that these people did not receive their accolades.
Winners were given dummies that were taken away from them at the backstage. No one returned home with a gong.
Some winners we spoke to confirmed this.
"After being given this award on stage, they took me backstage and told me to give it back to them. They said I was going to get it later. That they'd call me. Until today, I haven't received anything," said one winner.
It is the same story we got from others.
Abraynz is said to have failed to secure the gongs on time due to financial constraints.
It should be noted that some of his sponsors like socialite Jack Pemba pulled out and this left Abraynz stranded.
