BET 2020: Ghana out, 2 Nigerians nominated, check out full list

This year’s Black Entertainment Television (BET) Award will not have any artiste representing Ghana as the country failed to get on the nomination list.

The organisers of the international award scheme released their nomination list yesterday, June 15 and no Ghanaian made it.

Ghana’s eastern counterparts, Nigeria, however, got two nominations.

Burna Boy has unseated Sarkodie and Stonebwoy in the Best International Act category while young artiste Rema bagged the Best New International Act category.

The last time Ghana bragged of BET recognition was 2019 when Sarkodie won the Best International Flow category which was its maiden introduction.

In 2018, Kwesi Arthur also gained a nomination in the Best International Act category but lost it to South Africa’s Sjava.
