Representing Nigeria, both artists are flying the country’s flag high at this year’s event, with Odumodublvck receiving his first-ever nod in the Best International Flow category, while Burna Boy is up for Best Live Performance.

He joins a star-studded category that includes hip hop heavyweights such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, Cardi B, GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, and Missy Elliott.
Burna Boy’s electrifying performances have earned him global acclaim, and this nomination further highlights his growing dominance in live music spaces.
Both artists’ nominations reflect the significant strides Nigerian talent continues to make on the global stage, especially in the world of hip hop.
As the anticipation builds for the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, fans will be watching closely to see if Odumodublvck can secure a historic win for Nigerian rap and if Burna Boy will take home the Best Live Performance award.
