There were also celebrity appearances by Nollywood ambassadors like Odunlade Adekola, Mr Latin, Patience Ozorkwor (Mama G) with Mercy Johnson and Juliet Ibrahim as hosts for the night. DJ Banky and DJ Neptune were also on hand to make sure revellers had a rollicking time.

There were also recognised appearances by leading comedians from Ibadan like Mc Rapindady, 13th Disciple, Gee Jokes, among others and who got standing ovations for their performances.
