Libanca, The Cameron Singer Won BET Awards Against Burna Boy And Wizkid

Cameroonian-American Afro-beat singer Libianca Kenzonkinboum Fonji, popularly known as Libianca, won her very first BET Award for her break-out single People. 

The 2023 BET Awards took place on Sunday night with hip hop’s biggest stars taking home awards for their work over the past year.

Libianca was the first Cameroonian artist to be nominated. She was nominated alongside Pabi Cooper, Asake, Camidoh, Flo, MC Ryan, Raye, and Werenoi for the BET Viewers’ Choice Best International Act.

Meanwhile, after Libianca stole the show at the BET Awards ahead of Asake, many across Nigerian social media space have been reacting to the news of Libanca winning the BET Viewers’ Choice Best International New Act award.

But some have reacted to the development, noting that Asake probably lost the award to Libianca because he sings mainly in Yoruba, his indigenous language. 

Nigerian Musician, Damini Ogulu, affectionally known as Burnaboy, won the award for Best International Act.

Burna Boy emerged as the winner as he was nominated amongst the likes of Ayra Starr, Central Cee, Ella Mai, Stormzy, Aya Nakamura, Central Cee, L7nnon, K.O, and Uncle Waffles.

US rapper and singer Latto won the award for Best Female hip hop artist and Coco Jones won Best New artist. Beyoncé’s Renaissance and SZA’s SOS tied for Album of the Year, while Chris Brown and Usher tied for Best Male R&B/pop artist.

While internationally recognised Nigerian singer Burna Boy set a new record at the 2023 BET Awards as the first artist to win the Best International Act four times in a row, no Nigerian artist joined him on the winner’s podium this year.

Biodun Stephen ..It's Natural For Children To Go Back To Their Absentee Parents

 Filmmaker, Biodun Stephen, has said it is natural for children to go back to their absentee parents. The producer of the trending movie, ‘Sista’, also spoke about how her personal story influenced the movie.

She told Saturday Beats, “My mum was a single mum. She worked very hard to raise my sister and me. I was about 16 years old when I had an argument with my mum. At that time, I had just reconnected with my father’s family, and so I packed my things to live with them. My mother found it difficult to let it go. She was just crying and she said, ‘so I have where to go now because my father’s people have shown up.’ That was what I was trying to mirror when I wrote and produced ‘Sista’.

“My parents separated when I was about 18 months old. I met my dad when I was about seven years old. My parents tried to work things out for about a year but it didn’t work out. My father was in and out of my life but when I turned 12, I did not see him again until I heard four years later that he has passed away.”

Some of Stephen’s directorial works include ‘The Kujus Again’, ‘Breaded Life’, ‘Progressive Tailors Club’, ‘Aki and Pawpaw’, and ‘A Simple Lie

Speaking on if children are insensitive if they go back to their father or mother who abandoned them, Stephen said, “I think it is part of growing up for any child. At some point, children become self aware and discover who they are. I don’t think it is wrong to look for their other parent. It is a natural thing. I will advise single parents to tell their children about their past so that they can see how they will accept it. I don’t think single parents should paint bad pictures of their spouses because it is not always worth it. Regardless, that parent will still be loved.”

She also spoke on mothers who change the surname of their children because their partners are deadbeats. She said, “It is their prerogative to do whatever they like. I would speak for myself. I use my mother’s surname. I had a peculiar experience that made me say I want to honour my mother by bearing her name. That was my choice because she raised me. My sister is still using my father’s name.”

Speaking on how she felt about how ‘Sista’ has been trending, she said, “I know that the topic is a universal one. I feel humbled that a lot of us are connected by this singular thing. It is not just about the character, ‘Sista’, being a single mum but it has made some people look at their parents and be grateful for the sacrifice and all the effort. I am really humbled by the reception.”
