Nigerian singer Ice Prince has clarified that he, not Davido, is the first African artist to receive a BET award on stage at the award ceremony.
Historically, African artists were awarded backstage at the BET awards.
In a recent episode of ‘Listening,’ Ice Prince, who won the Best International Act, Africa Award in 2013, claimed that he broke the jinx by being the first African artist to receive the award solo on stage.
“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,” he said.
Davido won the Best International Act award at the BET Awards in 2018 and delivered a memorable acceptance speech, calling for greater collaborations between US and African musicians.
