The Making Of BET Awards’ First Afrobeats Performance With Fireboy DML | BET Awards '22 

Why? This is a Black American awards show. Not Nigerian Entertainment Awards. Afrobeats JUST became slightly popular worldwide a couple years ago.

It probably would’ve been sooner I’m gonna blame the pandemic 🤷‍♀️

Next time I need a full set. Bring out all my faves in Afro Beats

It’s long overdue.

@@lan92034 She said Afrobeats not Nigeria. You obviously have an issue

Afrobeats could NEVER compete with Blues, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Gospel, R&B, House, Rock N Roll, Hip-Hop, Go-Go, and the MANY OTHERS. Get help and stop looking to compete with people you don't even compare to.

@@lan92034 Wow LOL. Such bitterness Well, Left to u what is original to u is inferior to the rest of the world. And that's where Nigeria stands out, because we will work hard and make the world accept our sht because we naturally fell entitled to that global slice at the top. Which means u will forever never understand why we are on top of Africa in many things and constantly expanding our influence. 🤣🤣

@@ugoawa3171 Bitterness? All you all do is throw rocks then hide your hands and gaslight. YOU can throw shade, yet when I throw it back I'm bitter? What influence though? Because Afrobeats AND Afrobeat would NOT exist without your people mimicking Black American genres like Soul, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Hip-hop, and R&B. That's a fact. Show me a globally popular Nigerian musical genre that wasn't created by mimicking Black Americans... I'll wait

@@lan92034 over thinking kills🤣🤣🤣

@@user-fi9ct9lw9j Nothing I stated was "overthinking". I'm sorry big words cause you to overthink...

Afrobeat is Different from Afrobeats.

Afrobeatssssss!!

its Afrobeats Afrobeats is a genre that both Nigerians and Ghanaians created its inspired by fela but wayyy more dynamic

@@Robio_scorpio BOTH come from mimicking Black American music genres and culture, such as Soul, Jazz, Funk, Blues, R&B, and hip-hop. :)

@@lan92034 Na kolomental dey worry U 🥴

All you people do is complain. OF COURSE BET awards is going to wait until Afrobeats is POPULAR for them to celebrate it. Do you know how award shows work? They ONLY celebrate musicians that have become POPULAR, WELL-KNOWN, and supported. Same for Grammys, Oscars, EVERY award show. Let me know any Oscar award that has been given to a movie that was not POPULAR. Your dusty logic is flawed because all you people do is complain about Black Americans. Black Americans can't even give you a TASTE of support without you then complaining about it. Yuck.

@@lan92034 Guy, wetin b d colour of d yawa wey dey worry U abeg🤷🏽‍♂️?? B Lik say craze dey worry U ba🥴

@@adeyemiimmanueladedayo1283 U a beg dey worry. Say crazye U ba goo goo dey lik lik.

@@lan92034 Sir wèrè 😂!!! Na which kind craze craze tin u carry ur shikini brain write put full here lik dis🤷🏽‍♂️??? Nawa for U Ooo 😂

@@adeyemiimmanueladedayo1283 Nawa fubu. Shake! Tale tale shikini fufu top! Bolo abegggg ooooooooooooo

Why does a Black American Awards show need to have artists from Africa, Brazil, Cuba and around the world? How does that make sense? Why do Black Americans need to constantly open our spaces to celebrate a culture that isn't ours? Make it make sense.

@@lan92034 you're everywhere exhibiting your bitterness. At this point you need to chill out. Life is not that hard. We're all blacks and only a stupid person will refuse to acknowledge their origin. Y'all will cry about racism and how white people are not letting you into spaces but you're here doing the same to your fellow blacks. Maybe you should find the root of your problem. It's definitely not Africans nor Cubans nor Brazilians.

@@nma_25 I love how it becomes "We All Black!" when we call you out. Yet any other time, like majority of the comments here it's "Nigerians Winning! Naija no dey carry last! Africans do it better! Africans are dominating" So duplicitous. "Y'all will cry about racism and how white people are not letting you into spaces." Black Americans create their OWN spaces which is why you're on here complaining on the BLACK (AMERICAN) ENTERTAINMENT awards with a NIGERIAN man being celebrated in OUR SPACES. The root of your problem is other Africans corrupting your countries to the point you have to run here for relevance....

@@lan92034 U're definitely not Ok upstairs... Such a bitter Soul 😖

@@lan92034 it’s all about Pan- Africanism. The black race.

You know nothing about sounds or music

@@Flashkode I know one thing, this music sucks. Sounds like something Sean Kingston threw away.

@@lan92034 You are just a salty Caribbean specifically a Jamaican salty that Afrobeat oust dancehall on the global scene, we don’t make our music and hawk it around the world like bottle water stay salty

@@lan92034 hater and bitter person

Hahaha envy kee you there
