Burna Boy Wins Third BET Award

The Nigerian Music industry records another victory as music superstar Burna Boy has continued his winning streak in the Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act category of the BET Awards.
The 29- year old was named the winner at the 2021 BET Awards on Sunday, June 27, 2021 at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The other artistes nominated in the same category are fellow Nigerian singer Wizkid, Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania and other artistes .

He was present at the ceremony and collected the award himself after he missed the opportunity in 2019.

“I made it this time to collect my award myself,” he said before he taught the audience a bit of Pidgin English.
“I want to teach you guys a little bit about where you are all really from,” he added with his mum standing beside him before urging them to speak a phrase in Pidgin English.

During this insane run, the Port Harcourt-born musician also grabbed a Grammy win and a nomination.
He still dominates this category following his stellar years, releasing three critically acclaimed albums in a row.

He released ‘Outside’ in 2018 before his win in 2019. The release of ‘African Giant’ in 2019 saw him continue his dominance in the award in 2020.

He released his most recent project, Twice as Tall, in 2020.
