Tiwa
Savage, South African Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo and Ghanaian hip hop
artist Sarkodie will perform as part of the “Music Around the Globe”
presentation on Saturday 28 June. The three artists are all nominated in
the “BET Awards” ‘Best International Act: Africa’ category.
This will be the first time that Mafikizolo and Tiwa Savage have
performed in the United States, and the announcement follows their wins
at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) earlier in the month in the ‘Best
Group’ and ‘Best Female’categories respectively. Sarkodie also took
home a MAMA for ‘Best HipHop’.
In addition, Nigerian hip hop superstar Ice Prince, who won the 2013 BET
Award for ‘Best International Act: Africa’, will also take to the stage
on Sunday 29 June: he will also present the award for the same category
to this year’s winner at the BET Awards.
This is the first time international acts have performed as part of the
BET Experience at L.A. LIVE since the introduction of international BET
Award categories, ‘Best International Act: Africa’ and ‘Best
International Act: UK’ in 2010.
