Wizkid and Burna Boy win big at 2020 BET Awards| See full list

For the second consecutive year in a row, Burna Boy has won the award for ‘Best International Act’ at the BET Awards.

His second award was picked up on Sunday, 28 June at the 2020 virtual awards show thanks to COVID-19.

Burna Boy was nominated in the same category as Innoss’B from DRC, South African singer Sho Madjozi, U.K. rappers Dave & Stormzy, and France’s Ninho & S.Pri Noir.

The award was presented to the African Giant, Burna Boy by Naomi Campbell. In his acceptance speech, which he gave virtually, he 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.”

Wizkid also won the BET HER Award alongside Beyonce for their hit song, ‘Brown SKin Girl’ which gave Blue Ivy Carter her first BET Award alongside Saint JHN.

The show was hosted by comedian and actress, Amanda Seales and featured performances from Alicia Keys, Chloe x Halle, DaBaby, D Smoke, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Jonathan McReynolds, Kane Brown, Lil Wayne, Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch, SiR, Summer Walker, Usher and Wayne Brady.
