The BET Award for Best International Act: Africa was an award given to honor the outstanding achievements of international artists from Africa every year before being combined with other BET Award international acts. Wizkid holds the record for most wins in this category.

In 2015, several African and UK artists criticized BET's treatment of them, saying that their awards were presented to them in a pre-recorded segment backstage. Nigerian popstar Yemi Alade called for an end to the category.[1] BET's Rights & Research Administrator for Business & Legal Affairs, Lilian Blankson, responded to the criticism in a series of tweets, denying that the award was given out backstage in a pre-recorded segment.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
