Ghana’s king of the mic, Sarkodie, has won the Best International Act
(Africa) at this year’s Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards which came off at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles Sunday night.
The Ghanaian, who was recently crowned Artiste of the Year at the 2012 Ghana Music Awards, together with the Nigerian artiste Wizkid, were announced joint winners of the award.
The two beat off competition from Iceprince (Nigeria), Camp Mulla (Kenya), Mokobe (Mali) and Lira (South Africa) to win the award which was jointly won by Nigerian artistes, D’banj and 2face Idibia last year.
The award makes the ‘Dangerous’ rapper the first Ghanaian to win a BET Award after failed attempts by Kojo Antwi and D-Black.
An elated Sarkodie tweeted after winning the award that “From da streets of TMA str8 2 @BET_Intl …. God has been too good 2 me.. Love ma fans promise we’ll go higher; just save some love 4 me…”
