Nigerian act Mr Eazi, one of the 8 nominated stars competing for the 2017 BET Award in the Best International Act, Africa, category, has expressed his stunning view that he sees himself as an upcoming artiste.

Speaking on his nomination for the award, Eazi said it’s the just the start of more things to come because he believes he hasn’t really accomplished anything yet.

“I haven’t started anything. I’m just an upcoming artist and there is nothing accomplished yet. With God we will get there.” Eazi said on Daybreak Hitz with KMJ.

Eazi also admitted that he did not see the nomination coming at all, as his entire focus in on creating good music for fans.

“I didn’t see the nomination coming. My pride and happiness is to do music for my fans. I want to sing a song that people can relate to and that’s why I love going to the studios all the time. I think about nothing but music…”

Eazi added the nomination is a reminder to him to work harder and that he has no idea if he’ll win at all.

“… I really don’t know if I’m going win” he said.

“The BET is a reminder to big up your team and show how well you’re working hard. I’m mostly happy when I see tweets about my music lifting the spirit of people. Everyone can win an award. We can create it to award ourselves. There are more important things” he added.
