Nice one
common snap
Nigerian American here Aka Ngozi Uzoma HomeTown Imo State Owerri Represent Proud Of My Country ❤❤❤❤
Planning on going back this Christmas Nigeria So proud to be Nigerian 😘😘❤❤
I’am not into awards show but I was so excited for Davido! Paving way for us Africans in the entertainment industry 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 congratulations Davido
Other african artist have been there: Angelique Kidjo has 3 Grammys ....there are other african artist with Grammys as well.African artist have been getting recognition for a long time.
Everything Or Nothing yes, but I have yet to hear an African artist solo not feature record playing on the US radio stations
BlackIsthe Color You are so late. Davido did not pave the way for African artist in America. It was actually Dbanj who Davido acknowledged.
Slim Pickens Yeoo u live in mars go sit down some where u sound dumb like are u deaf do u not have a radio 😭😭😭🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Pesi Belau those are all back stage but this the first front stage bet award to any African...
Brilliant speech, showed support to D'Banj, recognised his father, Sold Africa and Nigeria, thanked his fans, and did business right on stage (sold his album and made request for collabo). Apt elevator pitch: Told them where he was from, was a family man, had empathy, displayed capability and sold the business idea.
It was indeed, an apt elevator pitch. He must have readied himself for all that in case he wins. He delivered. A good business student can relate.
His smile when he saw Wale was priceless 🔥🔥🔥
Yes!!! 🔥🔥🔥
*Davido be like: I wanna talk about Africa: Maaaannnn Come eat the Food 😂😂😂😂 👑 King Speech... Proud of him and Our Africans artists...*
😂😂😂😂 I thought he was going to talk about serious deep sh*t but he talked about food and clothe. I thought he was going to school their ass damn. Anyways I’m proud of Davido
Ani Che now if that was Fawls the bad guy then maybe.
😂😂😂😂😂
Anyways davido said something deep and I’m not sure if he knew that. He invited the African Americans to go to Africa their origin, and to collaborate with their brothers in the motherland. That message was deep, the racism the African Americans are experiencing is bullshit. He’s telling them to shake hands with their brothers and to stop all that fronting for their brothers and remaining in slavery with their white masters. The message was clear enough but I wish he expounded more on how the music world is looking down on african art when all the styles, dance and genres are all from Africa with no credit given to Africa. Kudos davido🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.
brwnish eyes Why you mad tho? Did an African beat you up or something? We welcome and support our brothers and sisters from the US. The blood that runs in us is still running deep in you so there’s nothing but love and admiration from this one African.
I know the US isn’t aware of much outside of them lol but every single one of those acts are HUGEEEEEEEEE in their own right!
Yeah, you're right. I feel like there is so much that the US doesn't know about the world beyond their boundaries. Like this kid whom I know who's not even aware that soccer the most popular sport in the world, he's so stuck up on basketball that he forgets that the world extends far beyond our borders and although basketball is one of the most popular sports in the US is not the most popular sport in the world. That's just one small example.
True
The industry is in the U.S. Americans are the most Pan African people on the planet.
godofthisshit No they are not lol. You must be an American who hasn’t travelled to other parts of the world where other people of the African Diaspora live.
Tequila Sunrise Beats That soccer example is superb! Basketball is known where I am from but there’s literally like 6 or 7 other much more well known and watched sports out here.
That’s so ignorant and sad to live in such a bubble...it’s like me travelling to the US and expecting something that is a norm where I live to be a norm in the US (there are exceptions of course).
Maybe had the US qualified for the World Cup this year, that kid would be aware of football/soccer but I doubt it lol. I know a few basketball fanboys and nothing exists outside of basketball 😂
Why I am smiling soo much!! I'm super proud and I'm not even from Nigeria!! "Assurance"💃🏾🎵🎶
Nice
I love Africa, I love Nigeria, well done, davido, so selfless, always paving way for young artists, doing his quotes, "we rise by lifting others"....🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
He used his time on stage to network 😂 smart tho.
C J very smart indeed
standard
C J 😂😂😂
AF!
igbo man sense lmao
There go Davido that man 😍❤️😘 congratulations 🎉🎈
safiatou bah DAVIDO X OLAMIDE TYPE BANGERS ON MY PAGE!!!
safiatou bah nnvjnvj
Who else watch this more than 5 times let me see your likes wow am so happy about this and am so much proud of you King Davido more winning bro ....Grammy is waiting for you ...............
Omo Naija!! 🦅🇳🇬👏🏾 As a British-African 🇬🇧 it made me so proud to see artists from London 🏴 and Nigeria getting recognition for their hardwork and unique style. Gang shii’! 🤟🏾🍾
Ahhh ahhh omo confirm s'installe nigeria représent everywhere
Wow! Am so proud of davido. All thanks to DBanj for putting us on the map when he sang with snoop dogg 2011
seon deon Lol, he wasn't just talking about himself but other singers too
I meant Dbanj sang with snoop dogg 2011 Mr endowned remix 2010 that was the first africa artist to go international , he paved the way for people like davido and wizkid and others to want to break into the U.S market by collaborating with international artist.
"Mr Endowed" I remember around when that video first came out. Still epic.
Watched this like 5 times .Proud moment 🇬🇭🇬🇭😂😂 I’m so proud of you Davido. GH🇬🇭 stand up
Davido proud of you. I was shocked not many cheers went out to Stomzy and J hus. I thought those guys were really big out there. davido and Tiwa got the loudest cheers. Wow that says a lot. Proud of my people. 9ja for life 😁
Olaseni Sogaolu Yeah!
nah they not big here at all. drake gave the UK hip hop scene some clout but it faded already lol
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
They not really big in America
Davido won BET awards in 2014 and he did it again in 2018. This kid named Davido is bloody talented and deserves lots of accolade without a doubt. May God continue to bless your hustle.
I am so glad that now BET has rectified the need to give my brothers and sisters from Africa the main stage instead of the backstage b4 the main event like they’ve always done.
Kelt Wonda Lol true
I was expecting that would be the case. Better this way
Andy Aigbogun it can’t continue like that as Nigerian artistes would not accept it .. check the last time d same davido criticized them heavily.
atleast we can now watch BET again
I know right.
Africans Unite! 🌍💕
iPerform wakanda for ever. Representing Senegal- Guinee Conakry. Allez les lions.👏🏿👏🏿
Hell yeah
Nah stay y’all ass over there
Børn Å Łegenđ don’t be blinded by ignorance.
The American ninja with that name I’m sure you’re probably not American but ok 😒
I got so much *LOVE* for Africa and its music and its culture. My one Kongo friend gave me a dashiki, and I wear it all the time at parties & concerts. Much love from USA 🇺🇸 #AfroBeats
June the Goon ❤❤❤👍
June the Goon 🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳❤️❤️🙏🏾
Am from Tanzania, you really deserve it David, thanks for representing us😍😍😍😍 from🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Congratulations to #Davido . He has made history as the first African musician to receive #BETawards on the main stage. And the first artiste from Africa to win the maiden edition of the best international act category ... I'm from Ghana but #Africa has won...
Nuruz Hasssn yes brother!!!
Lol Falz received it last year or so but Davido wasn’t the first
Igwe Ugwoke ... You clearly ignorant of the fact of BET awards.... We talking awards received on the main BET stage, we talking BET maiden international artiste comprising France, UK and Africa and you are guessing who .....?
Errr.....no.
Nuruz Hasssn David who??
I love that quickie respect to dbanj and the quickie adverts for collaborations and the way he sold Africa..... bigger you obo
Jenna Smith I heard Dbanj son died
"J cole I'm waiting for that verse"
Guys this award is not for Nageria, its for Africa am from Tanzania and we all support our African artist, we bit UK an France, so all Africans let's pray for Nigeria team on worldcup so can beat Argentina
You're missing the point. The award was for blacks as a whole to unite not just those in Africa. Stop being foolish and divisive.
@@AlMahdi2k black is a colour not a race, its none existed. Fix your fish brain and stop been foolish akata sub human.
Emeka chukuma haha 😂 abeg ohhhh
Buffalo New Yorker what nooo
No complete
Here's a proud Nigerian here. We are known for greater stuff than scamming. A few bad eggs aren't just repping our great country good.
Finally some AFRICANS
Icy Girl you should not say it like that cause black American are better right
antuan too much tf is good w u
antuan too much there shouldn't be competition between the two
Icy Girl fr😂😂
antuan too much are u ok
Congratulations Davido. There must be so many Nigerians in that audience, with the way they screamed when he was listed. #ProudlyNigerian.
Nonso Kelvin, Many people know about Davido and Tiwa Savage. You'll be surprised.
And for Tiwa as well
They was giving him respect they was a lot of black American there
antuan too much right
I'm really glad knowing that African Americans love our music.
Naija no dey carry last oo!!!🇳🇬🇳🇬🦅🦅

I’m so happy for Davido!!!!! You deserve it! S/O to Nigeria 🇳🇬 & the entire Africa!!!
Davido has pushes afrobeat beyond limit
🇳🇬congratulation to davido
U making Nigeria proud 💚
klem moto "selfish"???. if it is scam and corruption would be for the whole of Africa or just Nigeria?????
klem moto ans the question from Keisha Johnson...
No, I like his speech he did good. He said “Africa “ because he knows he has become this bigger to this extent not only because of the people from his country love and support, but because of the love and support that the entire Motherland Loves and support. You gotta understand Davido got fans all over the continent. Artists don’t discriminate. Him, you, and I both knows his from the soil of Naija. You got to understand Americans have been looking down on us Africans for so long. So if you get a chance like this embrace it. Congratulations Obo
Wizkid did it last year. From Star Boy to OBO
Betty Anthony why do people like you get salty when an african takes prid in his country instead of a continent. Davido is from nigeria the people he is most familiar with is nigerians not kenyans, not liberians, not moroccans etc... y'all got to stop this one africa shit because its a continent not a country then y'all get mad when people stereotype. You dont see japanese people claim all of asia or germans claim all of europe. Only africans want to embrace the generalizing then get mad at being generalized.
2:00 His smile when he saw Wale....
All Love...
It's funny how he talks about the food in africa 😂😂😂😂
Because its the best😍😍😍
@@amonobrenda665 rightttt
I started listening him since Skelewu! Congrats my brotha!!! Much love to Nigeria!!!
Congratulations Davido 🎉 proud of you brother 💚💛❤️from Ethiopia💚💛❤️
Alem Tsegaye what's up
Valiant Christian what's up!
Valiant Christian she dont mean he is from ethiopia 😂
jose wannabe you are right I'm Ethiopian and we love Nigerian Music.
Alem Tsegaye You look sexy. Where you from ?
Wow that's HUGE. I know the US fam probably don't realize it but there were alot of big acts in that category.
yeah menh everyone was HUGE. I was like WOW
Only one I listen to besides him is tiwa savage and stefflon don the rest I dont know of. But davido and tiwa savage are known over here in the US
Sarah Jones
Yea If I'm honest, I didn't know any of the French acts, but the UK and African acts are on my radar. I'll be sure to google all of them though.
Sarah Jones true
COME TO AFRICA!!!!! ITS A BEAUTIFUL CONTINENT
Naija to the world. We no dey carry last!!! 🇳🇬🌍
His acceptance speech was wonderful. Kudos to him for being unselfish and indirectly telling them that Africa is not all bad👏👏👏👏
If they didn’t cut him off he would end up asking everyone in there for a feature 😂😂😂
John Wayne lol well he did say everybody lets collaborate. Haha
he thinking business bro
Free ur mind
John cowboy
Jamaican Queen25 😂😂
"I don't need it for a soap opera, caroline save your drama ooh" i love this line so much 😅😅😂😂😂 and the expression in his voice sayin' dayuummmm!!
Proud to be a African Boy. Love🇦🇴❤🙏🏾
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU DAVIDO!!! AYE KEEP REPRESENTING AFRICA BROTHER!!! 😘😍😂
Hi baby what are you doing #"
Davido and Dbanj are two Nigerian artistes am most proud of. Check both of them out, they are almost below average considering their singing voices but nevertheless they utilize those voices to the best and make good musics out of their voices. Many artistes who have very good voices don’t even match their musical achievements
Kanni Ladel what of wizkid?
I like Wizkid but he has better a much voice so he doesn’t fall in that category
I love seeing my African brothers and sisters making a mark out there and representing us.
Made us prouddddddd
Woooow I'm soo proud of him. He's making us Africans proud!! Representing our people !!!
GoldenOne which your ppl? If he was caught in a crime would u say his making your ppl proud??
chris maloney don’t mind these idiots lol useless people. We are Nigerians. He is representing us only.
Omo baba Olowo he said Africans, why are you ppl like this? We are one. I’m Nigerian by the way
Wizkid did it last year. From Star Boy to OBO
temidestiny because when bad things happen they will insult Nigerians like there’s no tomorrow. But when good things happen, suddenly we are all one Africa
Omg he was there that was a surprise and also that so many people knows who he is. I love it. Im american and ive listened to African music for yrs now still the only one in my area. Idc i blast it loud in my car its strange to others but normal to ke been doing it so long. I love Davido i will they qouldve played a different song for him to walk on like Pour me water or Fall or If so many others. I wish i had a site that tells me when African Artist come to America to perform i would love to go to just one to like Davido, Flavour or Mr. Eazi omg love him and so many others.
I love this comment 👌🏾. It’s nice to see an American supporting African music/ culture
You are just akata to them ungrateful africans stop listenin 2 that wanna be afro beat shit
wth wanna be afro beat shit. what?? akata? I did say i was american right. what is akata mixed with white blood well i am....and your point is....i hate it but it is a fact. i dont know what akata means nor do know your point.
what do you know that i dont know.....hell educate me dont beat around the bush.
Same here. I'm American and proud of my African roots. I listen to azonto , zouk etc and blast it in my car and everybody thinks I'm a weirdo for listening to it but I don't care. It sounds good to me. Davido is one of my favorites. I'm happy for him.
davido deserved to win... but how come no caribbean artist was nominated? we here too.. but even if we were i dont think no one could have beat him. his music lit.
Nani Wattz... umm what’s that supposed to mean??
I am so happy right now, its like I was awarded the award. congrats man. you made us proud
Nigeria 🇳🇬

I'm proud of Africans
Love you Davido💖
So happy to see Davido win!! We need more collaboration across the diaspora!
Yasssssss he deserves it 🔥🔥🔥
This warmed my heart and entire body well done Davido!! You played, you laughed, you were real and sincere. And a very good and heartfelt speech ! Herh blessings fall on you😘😘
it's so inspiring to see a hip hop colossus like "Cool Jay" getting up on his feet to encourage Davido.
How kind of him.
Davido brought more attention to our(African) Music. I assure you(OBO) we gonna make greater.
Jamie is a certified fool "give it up for him" um..."him" just won an award, say that man's name! Lol. So happy for him
Kellie Howell say again not right that
Congrats Davido, oh how I wished for Cass to win. But Davido is a beast thou🙌🏽
I 'am so glad Davido won an award he's so talented.
Yes, me, too!!
Wow something great is really cooking in Africa sending the right message and good impression about Africans to the world, come to Africa, Eat, wear the clothes, tour am so proud am a Nigerian. Kudos Davido
"Eat the food " humble pie
“I wanna talk about Africa” .. everyone gets excited.. “eat the food wear the clothes” but while I’mma keep rocking Gucci & foreign designers instead though 🤣. Congrats my G. 👏🏾
You know black folk like a good speech
Samson Gerald ,Do you have to exhibit your daftness to the world? He is calling for a cultural migration, that's all, nobody wears cultural attire all the time, anymore than they wear Gucci all the time! Besides, Gucci is foreign to Americans too!
Your comment clearly shows you know nothing about Africa. First, his presence on stage talks about Africa. Africans rejected the giving of awards backstage, hence his presence is Africa We Talk. He says eat our food and come collaborate with us, why, because we have so much to offer that you guys do not know.
afrimedia afroblacco if you are gonna come at me at least be articulate and coherent at the least.. let me break it down to your thin brain.. if I am advertising sky tv to potential customers I won’t be standing in front of virgin tv with their flyers . Got it? 🤣 cultural migration yea ok. & I’m still fan of his music 👌🏾
IGBOYORUBAHausaNaija IGBO I’m probably more enlightened about Africa than you could comprehend but I’ll let you spew your opinion 👏🏾 btw this isn’t the first time African acts been publicly recognised on BET stage.. Ice prince was first .. wizkid, tuface idibia protested the backstage awards long ago so this has nothing to do with it and I’ll be more inclined to buy from a man proudly flaunting his africanness than someone who sounds and wear others attire but trying to sell me something else.. got the drift?
He deserves it. Love him!!!
He was nervous he spoke through it. I'm proud of him. Big ups 👏 👏 👏
Yes, he was!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
If I tell you that I love you ohh. Lol love his music!!
HAHA
Thanks
David God bless you for making us proud
Congratulations obo
