“Star Boy Wizkid Explains BET Awards Snub Despite Being In L.A”
Even tho he got nominated yet again for “Best International Act (Africa)” took to twitter to explain why he didn’t attend the Awards Pre-Shows and Festivities, including conducting interviews and more.
The StarBoy was in L.A over the weekend, but chose not to attend, citing reasons similar to what Fuse ODG said. Our artists are beginning to demand more respect from BET, and rightly so. I foresee more and more boycotts in the coming years, if the organizers don’t make the necessary changes.
Check Out Wizkid‘s tweets below.
Lol So I'm hearing BET is mad cos I didn't come for the pre shows and interviews! Lol.

I don't post about nominations or talk about awards cos I don't really care to be honest.
Just a bunch of peeps putting together a show!— Wizkid (@wizkidayo) June 29, 2015
