Nigerian singer Ice Prince has clarified that he, not Davido, was the first African artist to receive a BET Award on stage.
Ice Prince won the Best International Act, Africa category in 2013, breaking the tradition of African artists being awarded backstage
“I am the first African artiste to go on a BET stage and receive an award solo… When you guys talk about it, you guys give that credit to Davido.”The celebrated Nigerian artiste said
Davido, who won the same award in 2018, is widely remembered for his acceptance speech, where he called for stronger collaborations between African and US musicians.
