Ice Prince claimed that he is the first African artist to receive a BET award on stage, clarifying that it was not Davido.

Nigerian musician Ice Prince has recently made headlines by clarifying a significant moment in the history of African artists at the BET Awards. In a conversation featured on the podcast ‘Listening’, Ice Prince asserted that he holds the distinction of being the first African artist to receive a BET award on stage during the ceremony, countering the widespread credit attributed to Davido.
Until recent years, it was customary for African artists to receive their accolades backstage, a practice that limited the visibility of their achievements. However, Ice Prince broke this trend in 2013 when he was awarded the Best International Act, Africa, on stage at the BET Awards. His statement brings attention to an important milestone within the music industry, highlighting the evolving recognition of African talent on international platforms.
While Davido garnered significant attention for his acceptance speech in 2018, where he advocated for increased collaboration between U.S. and African musicians, Ice Prince believes it is vital to accurately represent the historical context and contributions of artists within the industry.
This clarification serves not only to affirm Ice Prince’s accomplishment but also to encourage a more nuanced understanding of African artists’ progression at prestigious global award ceremonies.
