Africa has had several acts recognized for the Best International Act: Africa and Best International Act categories at BET, including Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Wizkid, Black Coffee, Davido, Ice Prince, 2Baba and D’banj since 2011.

The ‘Onyeka’ singer said: “I want to use this opportunity to remind you that sometime around 1835, there was a mission to convert the nation of Africa into a pauper. If black lives are to matter, then Africa must matter.”

“Sometime around 1835, a mission to impose dominance on the nation of Africa was started, and now is the time to overturn this practice and return to our past, because in order for black lives to matter, Africa must matter,” he said during his acceptance speech.

Last year, before the BET Awards’ 20th anniversary, Scott Mills, president of the black television network, said the ceremony was a seminal recognition of black culture, achievements, exceptionality, and potential.
