The award show will hold on the 27th of June, 2017.


The 2017 BET Awards set to take place on Sunday June 25 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles has rolled out its nominees in the Best International Act Africa music category.

Last year 2016 in Los Angeles, South African DJ and Producer Black Coffee went home with the award edging out Wizkid, Yemi Alade, AKA, Cassper Nyovest, Diamond Platnumz, MzVee, and Serge Beynaud.

Coffee became the first South African to win an award in that category.
