The most decorated musician in Ghana’s music history, has received another international awards nomination.

Sarkodie is among a list of acts nominated for the 2019 edition of the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Hip Hop Awards.

With over 81 awards from 148 nominations to his credit, the rapper is unmatched in the Ghanaian music space and he hopes to add BET Hip Hop Awards plaque to his impressive collection of laurels.

Sarkodie received a nod in the newly created category, Best International Flow and he will slug it out with Falz (Nigeria), Ghetts (U.K.), Kalash (France), Lil Simz (U.K.), Nasty C (South Africa), Tory Lanez (Canada) to be the first act to win that award.

This will not be the ‘Illuminati’ rapper’s first nomination at an awards scheme organised by BET.

He has been nominated three times – in 2012, 2014 and 2015 – for the BET Awards in the ‘Best International Act’ category. He jointly won the award in 2012 with Nigerian musician Wizkid.

The 2019 edition of the BET Hip Hop Awards will make a return to Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Center on October 5 after vacationing in Miami for the last two years.
