oh what about Sarkodie?? he is my man oo…Chris is there any way that they can add his name or its too late?? Oh
Come on, Sarkodie didnt do anything last year to get nomination.
@kofi, i think you forgot to drink your coffee or thee this morning Sarkodie might be good but D-black was already known in the underground scene and build it to the top just like 2face and others BET might have heard about sarkodie but what has he put oit this year Nothing bro so chill out this and “Village award”
i love dis D-Black mannnn!!!!!
D-Black is taking Ghana to the top.
YESS BOOOSSSSSS!
YESS BOSS is flying sky high but honestly its going to be hard for D-black to win because D’banj is doing some major things with those US artist as well as 2face but fingers cross
not to forget R.I.P M-Bone of Cali Swag District! Cali Swag District made a major impact on the Hip-Hop market last year thanks to their catchy single “Teach Me How to Dougie.” The track set off a rap sensation with the tune instructing fans how to perform the dance craze that sparked millions of followers. M-Bone was infamously known as one of the group’s prime dancers I salute you
Wow, I see u r big fan of D black.
Yessooo love his music together with D cryme
D-black -Yess boss.I like the way he has risen to da top so quickly.
@thechuckylee I co sign to tat
why would they nominate beyonce for bet female artist. she didnt nothing last year or this year. her new song is even wack. damn what about the other, i just dont know why bet always treat that girl like ses the only atist in the world.
@silver hahahah I so agree with you on this remember when breezy beat up riri jay and bey threatened BET that they wouldn’t show up. If they allow breezy to perform your damn right bro there must be something fishy there as well big to Tinchy this is your year roc nation all the way Skepta your name has been buzzing all the way Chipmunk dude is really climbing but I think winner will go to Chimpmunk he has been working so hard in past few months dropping hits after hits
They sure nominated him but I know they will give it to Dbanj or 2-face. Hopefully D-black wins. Its about time cuz these Nigerains be getting on my nerves lol
D- BLACK ALL THE WAY.
bet a nigerian is gonna win as usual.they always take al the awards home1
