Nigerians hailed Burnaboy for winning BET award back to back.

Burna boy has become the first ever Nigerian artiste to win the BET Awards and the Best International Act for two successive years and as ever anticipated fellow Nigerians have hailed the atiste for attaining such an enviable height on social media.

The BET Awards were inaugurated in 2001 to honour yearly African-Americans and other American minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment.

At the time Burna Boy announced himself an African giant, he perhaps wasn’t referring to his Nigerian past, when it was truly believed that as a society, Nigerians are superior in any regard. Thankfully, all thoughts of that has been lost as Nigeria has continued to mint poor people in alarming droves.

See how they reacted to this enviable achievement by the atiste;
