The 2018 BET Awards took place last night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and it was historic in many ways. Latino born hip hop artiste Cardi B won Best Female Hip Hop Artist Awardwho is heavily pregnant and couldn’t turn up. In as much as we are excited that Rihanna and DJ Khaled took home the best collaboration award, we are more excited that Davido is coming home again with the Best International Act Award and this time BET did the right thing by presenting this category on stage at the main event. Davdio also won this award in 2014 and lost it to Wizkid in 2017.
The show, which was hosted by Jamie Foxx, was a night of thrills and chills with performances by 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Miguel, Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj.
