Ice Prince Settles the Record Straight: He was the First African Artist to Receive BET Award on Stage
Ice Prince, the renowned Nigerian singer, has made it clear that he, not Davido, was the trailblazer as the first African artist to be presented with a BET Award on stage.
The talented artist secured the Best International Act, Africa category in 2013, shattering the norm of African artists receiving their awards backstage.
In a recent statement, Ice Prince emphasized, “I am the first African artiste to go on a BET stage and receive an award solo… When you guys talk about it, you guys give that credit to Davido.”
This clarification comes as a reminder of the significant milestone Ice Prince achieved in 2013.
While Davido also claimed victory in the same category in 2018, his memorable acceptance speech called for increased collaborations between African and US musicians.
Despite the recognition Davido received for his impactful words, Ice Prince’s groundbreaking achievement in 2013 should not be overlooked.
