Samata is a good look for BET – it’s just launched in the UK and needs someone who is hot right now. To be honest there was not that much of a buzz about the content because they are importing a lot of shows from the US like College Hill – it would be wise of them to tap into some of the important people on the scene right now like Samata, Kano…maybe SWAY.

They got some big names on board – in the UK Estelle, Jamelia and Alesha Dixon are probably as big as it gets in the music scene and Samata IS the fashion scene with a pretty black face so she is marketable – let’s be honest. Estelle did well to be there so people don’t accuse her of selling out to the US….lol

Shout out Concrete Loop for keeping your grizzly fingers on the pulse. This girl is THE one to watch in the UK fashion scene – her work is hot

I don’t know if the US channel will do well without certain people on board from the UK in the fashion and music scene – they have to bring UK talent on board to show us respect.

More people need to look at young ladies like this like role models and like someone else commented, not the 1 dimensional hip hop candy stars all over the place. She actually has a talent - I’m behind her.
