Nigerian afrofusion artiste, Burna Boy, has emerged winner of this year’s BET Award for Best International Act.

The 2020 BET Awards held at L. A. Live, Los Angeles, USA virtually in the early hours of Monday and simulcasted via CBS due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Burna Boy won the award for a second consecutive year ahead of Innoss’B (DR Congo), Sho Madjozi (South Africa), Stormzy (United Kingdom), Dave (United Kingdom), Ninho (France) and S.Pri Noir (France).

In his acceptance remarks, the Grammy-nominated artiste said: “Second time and I appreciate it. I will like to use this opportunity to say that sometime around 1835, there was admission to turn the nation of Africa into a dominated nation.
