BET Africa (DStv Channel 129) with a repeat broadcast on the same day.
Monde
Twala, Senior Vice President and General Manager of ViacomCBS Networks Africa,
commented: “We are excited to celebrate 20 years of black excellence at the BET
Awards during these unprecedented times.
“The
International Act categories over the years have honoured some of the most
talented musicians in Africa. This continues at this year’s awards with
multiple artists nominated from across the continent which is a testament to
our commitment to shine a light on our own. We wish all our international
nominees the best in this recognition on a global stage.”
Drake

Artist,’ ‘Video of the Year,’ and two nods for both ‘Best Collaboration’ and
