BET AWARDS.

Nigeria’s 2face Idibia and Dbanj tied for the BET Award for Best International Act (Africa) at ceremony held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Sunday night. It didn’t come as a surprise as the two were clear favourites for the nod. But perhaps it should have been more competitive with only one winner instead of the two. It makes the African category come out as mere tokenism to keep us happy. Although this was the second time that African artists have been nominated in the BET Awards, this year saw a separate category for the African acts which also included D-Black (Ghana), Fally Ipupa (DR Congo), Angelique Kidjo (Benin), and Teargas (South Africa).

Meanwhile R&B superstar Chris Brown garnered three trophies out of his pack-leading six nominations. There was a mix-up during the announcement of the Viewer’s Choice winner as Tiffany Greene first named Brown as the winner before then saying Drake and Rihanna were the victors [With Drake accepting the trophy] it was later confirmed that Chris Brown was indeed the winner of the fan voted accolade.

Kevin Hart hosted the annual BET event with featuring performances by top acts such as Beyonce Knowles, Drake, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Mary J Blige, among many others. There were also special tributes to Steve Harvey as the Humanitarian Award Honoree and Patti LaBelle as the Life Achievement Award winner.

BET BEST INTERNATIONAL ACT IN AFRICA

Tuface Idibia & D’Banj have both jointly won the BET Best International Act in Africa Award. Both of these artists are the only ones who have been featured in the BET Welcome to America series so far and I could sense a sort of setup. I guess BET will keep teasing Africa to increase our interest till they plunge into the continent. I’ve never heard of two nominees winning a BET award and it was the only occurence of its type at this years show. It seems there’s more to this story and I’d wanna find out what really went down.
So I guess we should rename the award to Best International ActS? Smh. Don Jazzy though was not at the BET Awards as he was busy making music in New York. Oh yeah Kanye should also be quite happy right now, shouldn’t he? He won the Best Male Hip Hop Artist Award but wasnt at the show.
