While receiving the award on his behalf, his mum gave a very powerful speech that earned her a standing ovation at the event.

Speaking with grace and poise, she said:

Thank you very much BET. Thank you Africa. Because that’s the constituency for which we got noticed in the first place. And the message from Burna, I believe, would be that every black person should please remember that you were Africans before you became anything else.

Thank you, she concluded, lifting the award plaque and left the stage.
