The inaugaral Urban Spice Awards ceremony, held on June 8, 2008 in Los Angeles, were hosted by porn stars Olivia O'Lovely and Sean Michaels. Michaels stated after the event, "People need to recognize the relevance of tonight. This is a $13-14 billion dollar industry and the urban community is such a big part of that. It's really just time to recognize us the right way".[4] The 2009 Urban X Awards, also held in Los Angeles, were hosted by Mr. Marcus and Roxy Reynolds.[5]
