The award would it make it Wizkid’s third BET achievement, taking him to a pedestal of being the first and only African artiste to win three BET awards. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. Wizkid also revealed that he is not a fan of awards, adding that awards don’t define an artist or how amazing the artist is because it is a show organised by a company to give people.
