The Tanzanian artist was nominated for the Best International Act category in the BET Music Awards 2021 and happened to East Africa’s only representative in the category.
He was adorned in Masai attire complete with a shuka, a shield, sandals, and beaded jewelry. The announcement on Sunday night came and he, unfortunately, lost to the African Giant star, Burna Boy.
