It is no more news that African artistes are being presented BET Awards backstage, in short, 5hours before the award proper.
This is nothing but a way of humiliating and disrespecting African artistes who are putting in efforts to making entertainment more productive than what it appears to be.
Reacting to this uncalled for attitude that BET Awards has been displaying over the years, multi-talented singer, Fuse ODG and controversial Whitenicious Boss/singer, Dencia purged out their annoyance on BET organisers.

It is important to know that the more African Artistes celebrate BET Awards, the more they disrespect them. African artistes should focus more and celebrate Awards that are truly celebrating them and not BET AWARD!
“While u were worried about my outfit?your faves were waiting to give a speech in front of empty chairs with pictures at an award show made for black people.I wish y’all will be telling BET to fix that.Two years ago i spoke about that I was called a hater..FYI awards don’t come with money & awards don’t mean anyone is better than anyone (After all I have seen amazing artists get beat by not so good artists) so while u worried about me getting an award I am worried about where I’m gonna drive my Rolls Royce wraith to but for those of you who care I think African artists should be treated equally (like the American artists) how are you bringing cultures together if u aren’t putting them together officially? If the Oscars did the same thing all I’ll hear is racism..now take ur remaining data and help ur brethren (when they show u the awards in Africa it is edited to look like it was given in front of everyone).”
Dear African artistes, BET has failed to respect you, kindly respect yourselves by neglecting the awards…. totally!
After striving hard to be relevant in Africa as an artiste, BET Awards shouldn’t have nominated any African artiste if all the organises would do was to give them award backstage and 5hours before the award celebration.
Shame on all African artistes present at the 2015 BET Awards. They only attended to celebrate ignorance, racism and not their talent.
