Grammy award-winning singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu better known as Burna Boy, has won the 2021 Best International Act at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards.
The 21st annual BET Award took place at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on June 27.
The ‘Twice as Tall’ singer beats fellow Nigerian, Wizkid and Tanzanian, Diamond Platinumz, to clinch the award.
With his new feat, the Grammy Award winner has become the first African Artiste to win three consecutive BET Awards.
Recall that he won the Best International Award (Global) in 2019, 2020 and, just yesterday, he was announced winner of the award category for 2021.
