Sarkodie has been nominated for the 2014 BET’s Best International Act ‘Africa’ award—just two years after he won the same award with Wizkid.
The talented Ghanaian rapper will be competing with Davido (Nigeria), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), Mafikizolo (South Africa), Tiwa Savage (Nigeria) and Toofan (Togo) for this year’s award—and we hope he brings to Ghana once again.
The 2014 BET Award show will air live from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Sunday, June 29 at 8pm EST—and the show will be hosted by Chris Rock.
“This year’s nominees represent the best of the culture,” says Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials via a press release.

I wish sarkodie will win..
It’s so unfortunate that BET looked in Ghana music industry and saw no one that qualifies to be nominated and nominated Sarkodie again.
I think Mafikizolo will win it. That khona track was a hit
Mafikizolo cant win it cus they released just one hit song davido is going to win it cus he released 2 hit songs(skelewu and Aye) back to back
this time i think the award will go to South Africa or nigeria(davido)…….
