Following the announcement of Camidoh’s nomination for BET Awards’ Best International Act: Africa,’ many have wondered why Black Sherif was not rather nominated.
Speaking on Property FM, the Manager of Camidoh, George Britton explained that; “Of course Black Sherif won the Artiste of the Year at the 2023 VGMA and usually if you win such an award then you get the BET Awards nomination.”
“But for some time now, it doesn’t happen like it used to be some years ago so things have changed a bit in that regard,” he added.
He continued; “They now look at what you are also doing in their space, I mean internationally what is your song doing.”
“So that is some of the things they consider and that’s how come they considered Camidoh for nomination instead of Black Sherif,” he justified on the show.
He ended by adding that; “They realized sugarcane was huge in Europe, Asia, and everywhere they go so that’s the reason why we got recognised by such a prestigious organization.”
