Wizkid Wins BET 2017 Best Intl African Act

BET has just announced Wizkid as Winner of the Best International Act – Africa Award in a special ceremony held in Los Angeles. It’s the Starboy’s 2nd win in this category, first taking home the award (alongside Sarkodie) back in 2012.

Nasty C has initially been accidentally announced as winner sometime last week, but BET quickly apologized for the “glitch”. Gotta admit they finally got it right!

Wizkid, however, wasn’t there to collect his award. More to follow…

Wizkid was nominated alongside his main rival Davido, Tekno, Stonebwoy, Nasty C, Babes Wudomo, Mr. Eazi and AKA.

However, Stonebwoy is the first nominee to react to Wizkid’s win. The Zylofon Media signed act took to twitter to congratulate Wizkid. He wrote:

Congrats to @wizkidayo On the Win #BET2017 BestIntlAfricanAct
