Nigerian singer and rapper, Ice Prince, has come forward to correct a common misconception that has been circulating among fans and music enthusiasts.
In a recent interview on the episode of ‘Listening’, Ice Prince revealed that he, and not Davido, was the first African artist to receive a BET award on stage at the prestigious award ceremony.
Until recent years, African artists were typically awarded backstage at the BET awards, but Ice Prince broke this trend in 2013 when he won the Best International Act, Africa Award.
He emphasized that he was the one who paved the way for other African artists to receive their awards on stage, and not Davido, who is often mistakenly credited with this achievement.
Ice Prince expressed his sentiments, stating, “I am the first African artiste to go on a BET stage and receive an award solo… When you guys talk about it, you guys give that credit to Davido.”
He was referring to Davido’s acceptance speech at the BET Awards in 2018, where he won the Best International Act award and called for greater collaborations between US and African musicians.
