Top rated Nigerian singer Burna Boy has dedicated his BET Hip-Hop Awards performance to everyone who has been a victim of SARS brutality in Nigeria.
The 15th BET Hip-Hop Awards held today, October 28, 2020, after they announced nominations on September 29, 2020.
Popular American rappers, Megan Thee Stallion and Roddy Ricch won big after the duo went home with three and two awards, respectively.
However, highlight of the night was Burna Boy’s heartwarming performance of his song ‘
Monsters You Made’ with Chris Martin, which dropped off his latest album, Twice As Tall. The song talks about how corruption and bad governance has planted seeds of iniquity in citizens, which then grow to become acts of fundamental negativity.
The self-styled African Giant dedicated the performance to, “All innocent Nigerians killed by SARS.”
He seized the opportunity to call for an end to police brutality and profiling in Nigeria.
