Nigerian singers, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Rema have been nominated for the forthcoming 2020 BET 2020 Awards.
Just a few hours ago, BET announced The “BET Awards” 2020 nominees and three Nigerians were included. This year`s nominees reflect an abundance of creative expression and black excellence across music, television, film, sports, and philanthropy. The award show is scheduled to broadcast premiere on CBS on Sunday, June 28, 2020.
Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Rema were the only Nigerians nominated in three different categories. Burna Boy who won the Best International Act category at the 2019 BET Awards, was nominated again this year for the Best International Act Award category alongside South African singer Sho Madjozi, Stormzy, Dave from the UK, Ninho, and S.Pri Noir from France.
In the fan-voted category of Best New International Act is Rema, Zimbabwe`s Sha Sha, Celeste, Young T, and Bugsey from the UK and France`s Hatik and Stacy. This would be his first nomination for the award. Wizkid was also nominated for the HER award for his feature in the Brown Skin Girl with Beyonce. They were nominated alongside Alicia Keys, Ciara, Layton Greene, Lizzo, and Rhapsody.
