  1. Well let’s hope he wins this time but it will be hard cause wizkid and ice prince have been making allot of noise this year anyway when did sarkodie become “the father of azonto” lol but have to say that I love his new track “azonto Fiesta” Now back to those Yankees I think best collaboration will go to DJ Khaled ft Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne “I’m On One” and best R&B artist to Chris Breezy as he has been making allot of noise as well and featured on some heavy remixes Best movie of the year should defiantly go to Tyler perry “Good deeds” such a powerful movie Best new artist we all know that meek mill will take it dude has been pushing units out Best gospel should goes to Kim burrell even she has got such a powerful voice,

  4. Nigerians win because they vote for their candidate. the winner is not based on Judges decision but rather public vote. its easy, all you need to do is go to BET website and cast a vote for whom you want to win. Nigerians always win not because they artists are better but because more nigerians vote than Ghanaians and other african countries. Remember, their population is about 6 times more than ghana. do the math.Americans value fairness thats why every awards they do here in the USA is based on public vote. so whoever gets the most vote gets the award.Americans in general are not so interested in african music, and therefore are not familiar with our artists; therefore would not be interested in the best international artist category. its africans in the diaspora who votes on that category which majority seem to be nigerians. Lets just say their population is an advantage for them sometimes.
