Burna Boy has won the Best International Act for the second consecutive
year, becoming the first Nigerian artiste to win the BET Awards back to
back.
The Nigerian singer floored Innoss’B (DRC), Sho Madjozi (South Africa),
Dave (UK), Stormzy (UK), Ninho (France), and S.Pri Noir (France) to
scoop the gong at the first-ever virtual BET Awards which held on Sunday
night.
British supermodel, Naomi Campbell presented the Best International Act
award to Burna Boy, who gave his acceptance speech virtually due to the
Coronavirus pandemic.
In his acceptance speech, the singer said: “I’ll like to use this
opportunity to say that sometime around 1835, there was a mission to
turn Africa into a dominated nation.”
“Now is the time to overturn that and go back to the royalty that we
were, because, in order for black lives to matter, Africa must matter”
