Nigerian pop artist Wizkid and Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie have jointly won a BET Award for Best International Act Africa. This is not the first time the Best International African Act Award has been jointly won: in 2011 D'banj and 2Face also received the same award.

The other acts nominated in this category included Ice Prince, Lira, Mokobe and Camp Mulla.

Both winning artists have had successful careers, with Wizkid winning a MOBO Award, signing to Konvict Music and performing at sold out concerts in Nigeria and UK, plus he has a lucrative deal with Pepsi.

The big winners of the evening included Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Chris Brown who each took home two awards. While Jay-Z beat his missus in the Best Video category, Beyoncé did take home the trophy for Best Female and Video Director of the Year (together with Alan Ferguson). Nicki Minaj won Best Female Hip Hop Artist for the third year in a row.
