Nigerian musician and undoubtedly the biggest artist on the African continent at the moment, Wizkid is still unconcerned about the BET Awards.
The musician who was just announced a nominee in the Best International Act, Africa category at the 2017 BET Awards expressed his disinterest by vouching for his record label mate artist Mr. Eazi who he is extremely proud of.
Proud of this guy @mreazi ! Bring it home!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ pic.twitter.com/xff7wOj76X

Ouch! That hurts right?
Last year (2016), Wizkid snubbed the BET Awards which was held in Los Angeles.
The musician who neither partook in the promotion (prior to the event) nor attend the event although he was present in Los Angeles where the event took place, in a series of tweets reminded his followers he knew his worth and was not ready to fall for anything less.
Know yourself know your worth! 🤘🏾

It can be recollected that Wizkid and Ghanaian Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG took the same stands 2 years go boycotting the BET Awards in what they described as a total disrespect to African artists.
Dear @BET, the reason why I didn't come is because you give our awards backstage! You have no respect for our hard work and achievements

Is Wizkid being arrogant or a clear case of knowing his worth as his tweets say?
Wizkid won the Best International Act Africa award in 2012 and has since been nominated in 2015, 2017.
