At Sunday night’s BET Awards in Los Angeles, Nigerian singer Burna Boy was hailed as the best international talent for the fourth time.
This time, he was competing against artists including South African Ko, British Stormzy, and British Central Cee.
The BET audience’s choice for the best new international performer went to Libianca of Cameroon.
Her song People (Check On Me) has been streamed more than 320 million times since December. It sat on the top of the UK’s Afrobeats chart for eight weeks and got into the UK’s official Top 10 – a first for an artist from Cameroon.
