This year’s BET Awards generated a lot of criticisms from popular artistes such as Yemi Alade and Wizkid who claimed that the organizers should not have invited them if they knew they were going to humiliate them anyway. Click HERE if you missed it! Now, the organizers of the 2015 BET awards’ organizers have responded to the criticisms raised by African artistes after the award night did not go as some expected.
The BET Director, Lilian N. Blankson, cleared the air on some of the issues raised, accusing African artistes for not doing enough to sell their brands to the global world.
According to her:
“First of all, tell the truth and stop tweeting lies and mis-truths. There has never been a backstage presentation of any award. Pre recorded. We need to work hard and get our music on the radio here in the US. How do people respect your brand when you are not on the radio?”
“Make your music more internationally appealing. Think of ways to get all audiences invested. Oliver Twist is a great example. Universal story,” she added.
Waoh!!! That’s all we can say…
