An Emotional Send-Off For Our Princess Lira

Multi-award winning and internationally renowned musician Lira, was visibly emotional at her send -off to the BET Awards ceremony at OR Tambo. The star told the media that she is overwhelmed and eternally grateful for the love South Africans are showing her.

The send-off ceremony at OR Tambo International Airport was hosted by MTN in honour of her nomination in the International act category at the Black Entertainment (BET) Awards.

“The nomination by BET has affirmed that I have a lot of love in South Africa. People from all walks of life are rooting for me and wishing me well and showing me their love. That really humbles me,” said a teary eyed Lira.

Lira will be joined at the awards by four MTN subscribers who won the ‘MTN Muziq BET Awards Competition’.
