Celebrities including Wizkid, Fuse ODG and Yemi Alada led other Africans to voice their displeasure at BET organisers for awarding Best International Act (Africa) ‘backstage’ – a ceremony that holds nearly 24 hours before major show.
Dear @BET, the reason why I didn’t come is because you give our awards backstage! You have no respect for our hard work and achievements

‘We even want to perform on the BET stages, and even on the GRAMMY stages and any other prestigious stage which has an African category in there, that is my dream and my wish, I don’t only want to receive awards on stages.’
CONGRATULATIONS BLACK COFFEE!!! The flag is flying so high!!!
