Award shows like the BET Awards have been one of the pillars through which Nigerian music has continued to earn coverage in the early days of Afrobeat’s penetration into the US. This year, artists like Burna Boy, Tems, Wizkid, Asake, Ayra Starr, Libiance, and more earned nominations while Davido took to the stage to perform ‘Feel’ and ‘Unavailable’ off his ‘Timeless’ album.
See highlights including Libianca finding out she won the Viewer’s Choice Award for Best International Act award to Davido delivering a beautiful performance.
