Nominations for the 2018 Black Entertainment Television Awards were announced on Tuesday night.
As www.entertainmentgh.com eagerly waiting to know which artist(s) would be nominated in the Best International Act category, it turned out that, no Ghanaian musician made it this round.
In the past years, some Ghanaian artistes were nominated in the Best International Act: Africa category. Artistes like Sarkodie, MzVee, D-Black, Stonebwoy have earned nominations in this award before.
This year, however, the category seems to have been merged with Best International Act: UK. The new category ‘Best International Act’ has Booba (France), Casper Nyovest (SA), Dadju (France), Davido (Nigeria), Destruction Boyz (SA) and Fally Ipupa (Dr Congo) as nominees.
Some music enthusiasts had expected that Ghanaian artistes like Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and few others who worked hard in 2017 would gain nominations in this year’s BET.
Others are J Hus (UK), Niska (France), Tiwa Savage (Nigeria), Stefflon Don (UK) and UK grime act Stormzy (UK).
Migos, SZA, Bruno Mars, Drake, Beyonce, JAY-Z, Cardi B and Chris Brown have all been nominated in various categories.
