'I received the BET Award first before Davido' - Ice Prince

Nigerian rapper Ice Prince has clarified a notable milestone in his career, asserting that he was the first African artist to receive a BET award on stage, rather than backstage.

Speaking during the latest episode of the podcast *Listening*, Ice Prince addressed a common misconception that Davido was the first African artist to be honored on the main stage.

โ€œI am the first African artist to go on a BET stage and receive an award solo,โ€ he stated, emphasizing the importance of the achievement in paving the way for other African artists to be recognized on such a prominent platform.

Before Ice Princeโ€™s groundbreaking win, African artists were typically presented their awards backstage, limiting their visibility during the ceremony. His acknowledgment marked a turning point for African representation at the BET Awards.

The clarification adds to Ice Prince's legacy as one of Nigeriaโ€™s leading voices in the global music industry.
