On January 24, 2015, VL Magazine crowned Amarachi
Joyce Mbatu the winner of their VL 2016 Beauty Pageant, but less than a month
later, Mbatu was dethroned.

On their page, the magazine’s statement said,
Mbatu lost her crown for failing to commit to their organisation and meet up
with the brand’s requirement. It reads:
“Winner of the just concluded face of VL 2016
beauty pageant (Amarachi Joyce Mbatu) should henceforth no longer be regarded
as Face of VL queen as her supposed contract was cancelled due to lack
commitment, availability and not been able to meet up the brand (VL)
requirements. Hence, she has been removed as face of VL queen and the first
runner-up ( Damaris Obieke) of the just
concluded face of VL 2016 will be crowned as the new face of VL queen in coming
days.”
But Mbatu has a different story to tell. Speaking
with Lailasblog, Mbatu said she lost her crown because she refused to do the
magazine’s topless shoot held outside Lagos, that it was why the first
runner-up, Damaris Obieke, is now being crowned the new queen.

The magazine is yet to deny this claim.
