His performance was above average, but for those who paid Sh10k for the night, it was not worth it.

The NTV and Moet Hennessy sponsored Afro Pop event that aims at growing pop culture in Kenya.

Omarion performed his latest hit Distance, whose video was shot in South Africa, along with his other hits like Ice Box and Post To Be – his song with Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko.
