The Nigerian pop star was nominated for the Best International Act – Africa at the 2015 BET awards. The pop star incidentally was in Los Angeles, where the awards held, and he turned up to watch the show.
The star however failed to attend the pre-shows and nominees party, or carry out any responsibility that comes with his nomination.
Wizkid also disclosed a new truth, stating that he declined to receive his BET awards backstage. Wizkid and Sarkodie were pictured in 2012 at the pre-event shows, but they weren't photographed receiving the plaques. Wizkid reason is still still the same, as it was in 2012.
Finally, Wizkid gave his opinion on the choice of Stonebwoy as a winner. He congratulated the dancehall artiste, and expressed love for him.
Wizkid is not alone in his criticism of the operations of BET. Yemi Alade had earlier complained about the awards, and also insinuated that Stonebwoy was an undeserving choice of winner.
