Nigerian rapper Ice Prince has set the record straight on a hotly debated topic in African music history.
He clarified that he, not fellow artist Davido, holds the distinction of being the first African artist to receive a BET Award live on stage. This revelation directly challenges long-standing misconceptions surrounding this milestone.
Ice Prince reminisced about the landmark moment at the 2013 BET Awards, where he accepted the Best International Act (Africa) Award on stage, marking a major achievement for African music on a global scale.
He emphasized that his win was a solo effort and pivotal for African music’s visibility worldwide. His remarks appear to counter the belief that Davido was the first African artist to be honored live at the BET Awards, as Davido’s moment came later in 2018.
This clarification not only highlights Ice Prince’s contribution to African music but also underscores the need for accurate documentation of achievements in the industry.
By revisiting his historic moment, Ice Prince reaffirms his legacy as a trailblazer in taking African music to international heights.
