Ghanaians were left disappointed as the 2024 BET nominations list was announced and no Ghanaian artist secured any nomination. Instead, Nigerian artists dominated the list with over five nominations.
Burna Boy, Asake, Ayra Star, and Tems were among the Nigerian artists nominated, with Ayra Star leading the pack with three nominations.
Burna Boy was nominated in the Best Male Hip-Hop Artist and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist categories, facing tough competition from Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Usher, and others. Canadian rapper Drake leads the nominations list, followed closely by Nicki Minaj. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 30, 2024, at 8 pm ET/ PT.
While many Ghanaians hoped for at least one nomination from their country, they will have to root for their neighboring Nigerian artists during the upcoming BET Awards.
The full list of nominees across various categories has been released, promising an exciting and competitive event. Let’s stay tuned and see who takes home the prestigious awards on the big night.
