I think the Title is misleading it should say they won entertainment award at an event held in USA.I don't think they won because of their performance in USA.
Misleading indeed maybe it's a trick they use to lead you on

Wow, someone actually thinks this Omondi dude actually has talent? Not my shit.
C'mmon fellas, let's congratulate a brother. What's up with this thing of eating our own? Being funny is not easy, and if a brother can rise up to the challenge, why not give him a pat in the back!
Eric whatever his name is a socialite, not a comedian.
I don’t think this Eric guy is funny. I thought comedians are supposed to make n*ggas laugh. He’s like a house n*gga doing same antics trying to get laughter out of the master.
