In an article by British newspaper, The Guardian, published before the award, Bemi said “My love for London red buses started a long time ago, when I first came to this country in the early 90s.”

“There are four parts of London that I really, really love: red buses, red telephone booths, all the London bridges and Big Ben. But buses are my main love.”

“A lot of celebrities have been in my DMs, congratulating me, telling me they’re proud of me. But not only that, I’m so glad the way social media has accepted me, the way they have come behind me and supported me,” she said of the popularity of her videos.
