Politicians were invited to present some awards. However, a few mispronounced artist names and seemed unfamiliar with the show’s format. Viewers on X (formerly Twitter) quickly responded, sparking both criticism and humour.

Another trending topic was rapper K.O., who walked away empty-handed despite multiple nominations. Fans took to social media to question the fairness of the results.
