This past Sunday BET held their annual awards ceremony at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, California. At the prestigious event, two of our talented artists brought home major awards.

This is her 2nd major award after winning her first Grammy Award for best African music performance in February.

Reacting to their wins, McKenzie congratulated them, for a job well done. He also vowed to help unearth more stars in the country.
