Black Panther Gets 7 Nods At 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards

We are tempted to ask this question; Is there any record, black superhero film, Black Panther hasn’t broken yet? The film seems to be doing wonders across the world, more fascinating, is its presence in countries that normally don’t go with the euphoria surrounding popular films.

The world actually wants to know more about Africans and our rich cultural heritage and what makes the continent unique. This has reflected greatly on the just-announced nominations for the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards where Black Panther together with Stars such as Lupita Nyong’o etc have garner seven nominations ahead of the main show to be hosted by Tiffany Haddish at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on June 18, 2018.
