Shauwn Mkhize received a cold shoulder from the paparazzi at the BET Awards red carpet. She got up, washed up and showed up, but that wasn’t enough.
Shauwn Mkhize is one of the most celebrated people in South Africa; she is known for being rich and has created an empire around herself.
Mamkhize has dedicated 2022 to launching her brand internationally; she hasn’t been in the country all that much since this year began, but this is not our story today. This story is about the BET red carpet disaster that happened to her on the weekend.
Shauwn got the memo and brought it as usual to the event. She wore a beautiful gown with glamorous silver details.
Everything looked enough to get her the attention she deserved, right?cThat’s not what happened.
A video of Mamkhize posing for that red carpet has gone viral because it seemed like the press members were ignoring her.
In the video, Shauwn is giving her best smile and poses, but the paparazzi have focused anywhere but on her.
Firstly tweeps noticed that her name had to be written on the board because no one knew her name. The committee comprises “Shauwn Mkhize, a Reality Show star”.
It continues to get awkward as it looks like only one photographer takes a picture of her, and even that one is said to be a hired one by Mamkhize herself.
Andile’s audience stood still as he was sweating away on stage, giving his all. Social media ripped her apart and started comparing this experience to her son’s embarrassing performance a few weeks ago in Pretoria. That performance has become legendary, creating the best meme on social media.
The public feels that Shauwn called it too soon, as she is not as famous as she thinks.
It deserves to be mentioned here that Shauwn is not just around in LA; she was part of the panel at the Most influential 100. She was part of the discussions about bridging the gap between Hollywood and Africa. That is a big deal.
“Money can’t buy love or class!”
One tweep wrote.
Mamkhize premiered her two-part reality show MaMkhize Thanksgiving on BET this past Saturday, and let’s not forget her helping hand to the flood victims in KZN recently. Everything she dies draws attention. Does she need some paparazzi taking her picture to be respected?
The point is at the rate Shauwn is going, the photographers might not know who she is right now, but it’s only a matter of time.
