Tiwa Savage, Ice Prince Join Nicki Minaj, Others To Perform At BET Awards

Some of Africa’s biggest names in African contemporary music are set to perform as part of the BET Experience at L.A. LIVE for the first time ever. Nigerian singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage, South African Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo and Ghanaian hip hop artist Sarkodie will perform as part of the “Music Around the Globe” presentation on Saturday 28 June. The three artists are all nominated in the “BET Awards” ‘Best International Act: Africa’ category. 

This will be the first time that Mafikizolo and Tiwa Savage have performed in the United States, and the announcement follows their wins at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) earlier in the month in the ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Female’categories respectively. Sarkodie also took home a MAMA for ‘Best HipHop’.
