Nigerian superstars, Burna Boy and Wizkd went home with the Best International Act and Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards respectively at the BET 2020 awards. The ceremony, which marked the 20th edition of the BET Awards, was held virtually on Sunday across the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event was hosted by Amanda Seales and performers included; Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch, Chloe X Halle, DaBaby, Jay Rock, Jennifer Hudson, Questlove, Nas, Usher, YG, and many more. Wizkid’s feature on Beyonce’s ‘Brown Skin Girl’ track won him the BET Her Award category as he currently makes history as the African artiste with the most BET awards win. It was the second time the self-acclaimed African Giant would win a BET Award which he did in the same category last year. He beat Innoss’B, Sho Madjozi, Dave, Stormzy, Ninho and S.Pri Noir to win the award. Mavin Records signee, Rema, lost out the ‘Best New International Act’ category to Zimbabwean act, Sha Sha.
