Zozi took to social media to say that she had a lot of fun at the award show.
“I had the pleasure of presenting an award at the @latinamas! I was told to expect a good time by the Latin American community so I acted accordingly and put on a sheer, sparkly @christiancowan dress and arrived! About the fun? They didn’t lie! As a result, RIP to my feet from the heels and dancing (horribly if I might add).”
