Burna Boy has once again proven his musical prowess by winning the Best International Act Award. Among his fellow African nominees, including Ayra Starr, K.O, and Uncle Waffles, Burna Boy stood out and secured the honor. This achievement marks his fourth consecutive win in the category, as he previously claimed the title in 2019, 2020, and 2021. However, in 2022, the award was won by Tems, highlighting the dynamic talent within the African music scene.

Tems, who won the Best Collaboration award last year for her contribution to Wizkid’s remix of ‘Essence’ featuring Justin Bieber, once again emerged victorious in the same category. This time, she was recognised for her appearance on Future’s ‘Wait for U’ featuring Drake.

Libianca emerged as the winner of the Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act award after surpassing Asake (Nigeria), Camidoh (Ghana), Flo (UK), Maureen (France), MC Ryan SP (Brazil), Pabi Cooper (South Africa), Raye (UK) and Werenoi (France).

Five years after winning the Best International Act at the awards, Davido returned to the BET Stage, treating the audience to a medley of his singles ‘Feel’ and ‘Unavailable’, taken off his recent new album Timeless.

Meanwhile, SZA and Beyoncé emerged as big winners, each taking home three awards, including tying for the highly coveted Album of the Year Award.
