daniella nwadiashi I see you sis. Where's the 📷 at?

Nice one

common snap

Nigerian American here Aka Ngozi Uzoma HomeTown Imo State Owerri Represent Proud Of My Country ❤❤❤❤

Planning on going back this Christmas Nigeria So proud to be Nigerian 😘😘❤❤

😂😂😂😂 I thought he was going to talk about serious deep sh*t but he talked about food and clothe. I thought he was going to school their ass damn. Anyways I’m proud of Davido

Ani Che now if that was Fawls the bad guy then maybe.

😂😂😂😂😂

Anyways davido said something deep and I’m not sure if he knew that. He invited the African Americans to go to Africa their origin, and to collaborate with their brothers in the motherland. That message was deep, the racism the African Americans are experiencing is bullshit. He’s telling them to shake hands with their brothers and to stop all that fronting for their brothers and remaining in slavery with their white masters. The message was clear enough but I wish he expounded more on how the music world is looking down on african art when all the styles, dance and genres are all from Africa with no credit given to Africa. Kudos davido🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.

brwnish eyes Why you mad tho? Did an African beat you up or something? We welcome and support our brothers and sisters from the US. The blood that runs in us is still running deep in you so there’s nothing but love and admiration from this one African.

Yes!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Other african artist have been there: Angelique Kidjo has 3 Grammys ....there are other african artist with Grammys as well.African artist have been getting recognition for a long time.

Everything Or Nothing yes, but I have yet to hear an African artist solo not feature record playing on the US radio stations

BlackIsthe Color You are so late. Davido did not pave the way for African artist in America. It was actually Dbanj who Davido acknowledged.

Slim Pickens Yeoo u live in mars go sit down some where u sound dumb like are u deaf do u not have a radio 😭😭😭🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Pesi Belau those are all back stage but this the first front stage bet award to any African...

Yeah, you're right. I feel like there is so much that the US doesn't know about the world beyond their boundaries. Like this kid whom I know who's not even aware that soccer the most popular sport in the world, he's so stuck up on basketball that he forgets that the world extends far beyond our borders and although basketball is one of the most popular sports in the US is not the most popular sport in the world. That's just one small example.

True

The industry is in the U.S. Americans are the most Pan African people on the planet.

godofthisshit No they are not lol. You must be an American who hasn’t travelled to other parts of the world where other people of the African Diaspora live.

Tequila Sunrise Beats That soccer example is superb! Basketball is known where I am from but there’s literally like 6 or 7 other much more well known and watched sports out here. That’s so ignorant and sad to live in such a bubble...it’s like me travelling to the US and expecting something that is a norm where I live to be a norm in the US (there are exceptions of course). Maybe had the US qualified for the World Cup this year, that kid would be aware of football/soccer but I doubt it lol. I know a few basketball fanboys and nothing exists outside of basketball 😂

C J very smart indeed

standard

C J 😂😂😂

AF!

igbo man sense lmao

It was indeed, an apt elevator pitch. He must have readied himself for all that in case he wins. He delivered. A good business student can relate.

Nice

iPerform wakanda for ever. Representing Senegal- Guinee Conakry. Allez les lions.👏🏿👏🏿

Hell yeah

Nah stay y’all ass over there

Børn Å Łegenđ don’t be blinded by ignorance.

The American ninja with that name I’m sure you’re probably not American but ok 😒

Nuruz Hasssn yes brother!!!

Lol Falz received it last year or so but Davido wasn’t the first

Igwe Ugwoke ... You clearly ignorant of the fact of BET awards.... We talking awards received on the main BET stage, we talking BET maiden international artiste comprising France, UK and Africa and you are guessing who .....?

Errr.....no.

Nuruz Hasssn David who??

Kelt Wonda Lol true

I was expecting that would be the case. Better this way

Andy Aigbogun it can’t continue like that as Nigerian artistes would not accept it .. check the last time d same davido criticized them heavily.

atleast we can now watch BET again

I know right.

safiatou bah DAVIDO X OLAMIDE TYPE BANGERS ON MY PAGE!!!

safiatou bah nnvjnvj

Ahhh ahhh omo confirm s'installe nigeria représent everywhere

seon deon Lol, he wasn't just talking about himself but other singers too

I meant Dbanj sang with snoop dogg 2011 Mr endowned remix 2010 that was the first africa artist to go international , he paved the way for people like davido and wizkid and others to want to break into the U.S market by collaborating with international artist.

"Mr Endowed" I remember around when that video first came out. Still epic.

Olaseni Sogaolu Yeah!

nah they not big here at all. drake gave the UK hip hop scene some clout but it faded already lol

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

They not really big in America

Icy Girl you should not say it like that cause black American are better right

antuan too much tf is good w u

antuan too much there shouldn't be competition between the two

Icy Girl fr😂😂

Nonso Kelvin, Many people know about Davido and Tiwa Savage. You'll be surprised.

And for Tiwa as well

They was giving him respect they was a lot of black American there

antuan too much right

I'm really glad knowing that African Americans love our music.

June the Goon ❤❤❤👍

June the Goon 🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳❤️❤️🙏🏾

Jenna Smith I heard Dbanj son died

"J cole I'm waiting for that verse"

NatichouCuda Cuda I think you have bigger issues than to be tuned into Bet..

Neon Dawn 😂😂😂😂😂

Neon Dawn easy there dont group everyone together

Neon Dawn wdym?? in kenya we celebrate all the other african cultures and truss, we loooveeee naija culture!

a because we the best

klem moto "selfish"???. if it is scam and corruption would be for the whole of Africa or just Nigeria?????

klem moto ans the question from Keisha Johnson...

No, I like his speech he did good. He said “Africa “ because he knows he has become this bigger to this extent not only because of the people from his country love and support, but because of the love and support that the entire Motherland Loves and support. You gotta understand Davido got fans all over the continent. Artists don’t discriminate. Him, you, and I both knows his from the soil of Naija. You got to understand Americans have been looking down on us Africans for so long. So if you get a chance like this embrace it. Congratulations Obo

Wizkid did it last year. From Star Boy to OBO

Betty Anthony why do people like you get salty when an african takes prid in his country instead of a continent. Davido is from nigeria the people he is most familiar with is nigerians not kenyans, not liberians, not moroccans etc... y'all got to stop this one africa shit because its a continent not a country then y'all get mad when people stereotype. You dont see japanese people claim all of asia or germans claim all of europe. Only africans want to embrace the generalizing then get mad at being generalized.

You're missing the point. The award was for blacks as a whole to unite not just those in Africa. Stop being foolish and divisive.

@@AlMahdi2k black is a colour not a race, its none existed. Fix your fish brain and stop been foolish akata sub human.

Emeka chukuma haha 😂 abeg ohhhh

Buffalo New Yorker what nooo

No complete

Alem Tsegaye what's up

Alem Tsegaye You look sexy. Where you from ?

Hi baby what are you doing #"

GoldenOne which your ppl? If he was caught in a crime would u say his making your ppl proud??

chris maloney don’t mind these idiots lol useless people. We are Nigerians. He is representing us only.

Omo baba Olowo he said Africans, why are you ppl like this? We are one. I’m Nigerian by the way

Wizkid did it last year. From Star Boy to OBO

temidestiny because when bad things happen they will insult Nigerians like there’s no tomorrow. But when good things happen, suddenly we are all one Africa

Kanni Ladel what of wizkid?

I like Wizkid but he has better a much voice so he doesn’t fall in that category

I love this comment 👌🏾. It’s nice to see an American supporting African music/ culture

You are just akata to them ungrateful africans stop listenin 2 that wanna be afro beat shit

wth wanna be afro beat shit. what?? akata? I did say i was american right. what is akata mixed with white blood well i am....and your point is....i hate it but it is a fact. i dont know what akata means nor do know your point.

what do you know that i dont know.....hell educate me dont beat around the bush.

Same here. I'm American and proud of my African roots. I listen to azonto , zouk etc and blast it in my car and everybody thinks I'm a weirdo for listening to it but I don't care. It sounds good to me. Davido is one of my favorites. I'm happy for him.

Yes, he was!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Because its the best😍😍😍

@@amonobrenda665 rightttt

John Wayne lol well he did say everybody lets collaborate. Haha

he thinking business bro

Free ur mind

John cowboy

Jamaican Queen25 😂😂

Nani Wattz... umm what’s that supposed to mean??

Yes, me, too!!

yeah menh everyone was HUGE. I was like WOW

Only one I listen to besides him is tiwa savage and stefflon don the rest I dont know of. But davido and tiwa savage are known over here in the US

Sarah Jones Yea If I'm honest, I didn't know any of the French acts, but the UK and African acts are on my radar. I'll be sure to google all of them though.

Sarah Jones true

Cool

YES OOO

You know black folk like a good speech

Samson Gerald ,Do you have to exhibit your daftness to the world? He is calling for a cultural migration, that's all, nobody wears cultural attire all the time, anymore than they wear Gucci all the time! Besides, Gucci is foreign to Americans too!

Your comment clearly shows you know nothing about Africa. First, his presence on stage talks about Africa. Africans rejected the giving of awards backstage, hence his presence is Africa We Talk. He says eat our food and come collaborate with us, why, because we have so much to offer that you guys do not know.

afrimedia afroblacco if you are gonna come at me at least be articulate and coherent at the least.. let me break it down to your thin brain.. if I am advertising sky tv to potential customers I won’t be standing in front of virgin tv with their flyers . Got it? 🤣 cultural migration yea ok. & I’m still fan of his music 👌🏾

IGBOYORUBAHausaNaija IGBO I’m probably more enlightened about Africa than you could comprehend but I’ll let you spew your opinion 👏🏾 btw this isn’t the first time African acts been publicly recognised on BET stage.. Ice prince was first .. wizkid, tuface idibia protested the backstage awards long ago so this has nothing to do with it and I’ll be more inclined to buy from a man proudly flaunting his africanness than someone who sounds and wear others attire but trying to sell me something else.. got the drift?

It’s been on the main stage for a least a decade

HAHA

Thanks
