P-Valley’s Uncle Clifford star flooded with praise after milestone award win | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV
P-Valley made its highly anticipated return to Starz with its eagerly awaited second season, which was a huge hit for fans across the world. Nicco Annan, who stars as the beloved Uncle Clifford, sparked a frenzy on Instagram after the actor was awarded a trailblazing award for his portrayal.
The hit series follows the dramatic lives of the dancers who work at Mississippi’s hottest strip club The Pynk.
Throughout the show, fans remained enthralled by Keyshaw’s (played by Shannon Thornton) life as she tried to better herself.
As the up-and-coming talent, she was highly in demand, however, her home life was the opposite as a doting mother of two who was a victim of domestic violence.
The series also highlighted Uncle Clifford’s professional and personal life as the nonbinary owner of the establishment.
