Model Millen Magesse became the first recepient of the Global Good Award. She received her award several hours before the main show just as Uganda’s Eddy Kenzo
The BET Awards 2015 celebrated its 15th anniversary on Sunday night, which was fitting because the biggest and best moments of the night were all about throwback performances, appearances from old school artistes and mashups of greatest hits.
From the Janet Jackson tribute to Rihanna’s duct tape mystery of Floyd Mayweather and singing along to her ex Chris Brown’s performance.
The greatest hits performance honouring 20 years of BET Awards was ever-y-thing. And they brought the house down as Diddy tumbled during the iconic BET moment. It almost looked like it was part of the performance.
Tanzania’s Millen Magesse finally got her award at the BET on Sunday night after she was named as the sole nominee in the Global Good category.
It was a moment to savour for the thousands of her fans across Africa who came out to acknowledge her efforts in combating endometriosis, a condition that has rendered her barren.
“I am so humbled. Father thank you for uplifting my country too. Thank you BET 2015 for this honour,” she wrote in her Instagram account.
She was congratulated by fellow celebrities from across the continent
And it seemed there was more for East Africa as Uganda’s Eddy Kenzo bagged the first award for the region in a contested category for Best Viewers’ Choice International New Artiste.
“Before I say anything let me dedicate this award to all Ugandans wherever you are in the world, it has been a long journey; it’s the first of its kind in East Africa. This is for Uganda, Uganda really needed this,” Kenzo posted on his official Facebook page.
Kenzo had beaten off competition from Casper Nyovest, Mzvee, George the Poet, Mic Lowry and Novelist in that category.
In his celebration the artiste has released a victory song which he has titled ‘Very Good’ where he calls himself champion, winner, number one and many other names.
But as the two became some of the most trending items on the social network in East Africa and beyond controversy was brewing
