Following their recent win, the duo expressed deep gratitude to God and everyone who has supported their journey. Alicia shared that receiving the award was a moment of thanksgiving, emphasizing appreciation for their team and supporters. Germaine added that the recognition is a great blessing and a reminder that their success comes from God, not their own strength.
