Cape Town — Nigerian musicians Davido and Tiwa Savage are amongst the nominees list, which also includes South African artists Cassper Nyovest and the duo known as Distruction Boyz as well as DR Congo's rhumba maestro Fally Ipupa have been nominated for the Best International Act category at the 2018 BET Awards.
The category also incudes other international stars like Stormzy (UK), J Hus (UK), Dadju (Fance), Stefflon Don (UK) and Booba (France).
