Tanzanians Angry At BET As Abby Chams Fails to Win Prestigious Award

Tanzanian singer Abigail Chams missed out on the BET Best International Act, which went to Brazil's Ajulia Costa. 

Chams thanked the media who interviewed her as she walked the red carpet "The BET International Media Run in Beverly Hills. Thank you to all the amazing press who took the time to know, understand and tell my story."

Her fans were left with mixed reactions as most of them thought she would win.
