Wizkid, Tekno, Davido, Mr Eazi, AKA, Babes Wodumo, Nasty C and Stonebwoy will fight it out to be crowned the best act in Africa by BET.
Last year, South African DJ and Producer Black Coffee won – while Wizkid, Yemi Alade, AKA, Cassper Nyovest, Diamond Platnumz, MzVee and Serge Beynaud went home empty handed.
Will it be Wizkid or AKA’s year this year? Will Nigeria snatch the crown from South Africa? We’ll find out on June 25.
