Wizkid, Tems Win Big At BET Awards 2022 (Full List Of Winners)

Singers Wizkid and Tems have again put Nigeria on good spotlight following their win at the just held BET Awards 2022, which took place on Sunday, June 26, 2022.

The night was a double celebration for budding songstress Tems, who danced joyously back home with two awards. Tems secured the reputable ‘Best International Act’ award and the plaque for ‘Best Collaboration’ for ‘Essence’ remix with Wizkid and Justin Bieber.

Tems dedicated the ‘Best International Act’ award to all the young women, striving to be successful in their various fields. “Thank you so much for this. Thank you so much. It’s an honour.”

“I mean, this is my first award show that I’m winning something and I just want to use this as an opportunity to speak to every single young, old, whatever, every single woman watching this, every single girl watching this at home. Where I’m from, things like this don’t happen,” she said.

The BET Awards celebrate Black excellence in music, culture and sports. The 2022 event held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
