‘ For the first time ever, the #BETAwards2018 Best International Act category winner will be presented on the main stage.’  This was announced on May 16th, 2018, via the Twitter handle of BET Africa and as Africans, we should celebrate it. It is plus points for African music, cheering news for African artistes and good to see organisers of the BET Awards finally take to correction. This singular step would put an end to the many years of discrimination against Africans on a platform that takes pride in “celebrating black excellence.” BET Awards was launched in 2001 but the Best International Acts Category wasn’t introduced until ten years after, at the 2011 edition of the awards. The news of the recognition swept across the continent, causing excitement and pride to fill the hearts of Africans, many of whom took it as a sign of acceptance and validation from the International community. The excitement lasted till the ceremony where the winners – 2Baba & D’Banj never got to climb
