Ghanaians were a little disappointed to see that no Ghanaian artist received a nomination in the 2024 BET nominations, which was announced.
Instead, with more than five nominations, Nigerian musicians topped the list ahead of Ghanaians. Ayra Star, the emerging star of Nigeria, received three nominations, while Burna Boy, Asake, Tems, and Ayra Star received nominations in other categories.
In addition, Burna Boy received nominations for Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and Best Male Hip-Hop Artist. Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, Usher, and other artists will compete against him in these categories.
Nicki Minaj is second with the most nominations, after Canadian rapper Drake. The Awards presentation is scheduled for June 30, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
