Ghanaian artistes who have won international awards

At the 2023 BET Hip-Hop Awards, Black Sherif's victorious night overshadows Burna Boy's seven nominations.

In a star-studded celebration marking the 50-year milestone of hip-hop, the industry's finest talents, including artists, producers, and music video directors, were honored. The event showcased exceptional achievements in the genre, shining a spotlight on the global impact of hip-hop.

One of the most notable moments of the night came when Ghanaian musician Black Sherif was unveiled as the winner of the prestigious Best International Flow category. The announcement, however, arrived under unique circumstances, as a leaked video from the previous week's recording revealed his victory. Black Sherif triumphed over strong contenders, including Zambia's Sampa the Great, the late South African rapper AKA, and South African hip-hop artist K.O, claiming the coveted award as Africa's sole recipient.

Competing alongside Black Sherif in the Best International Flow category were J Hus (U.K.), Central Cee (U.K.), Gazo (France), Major RD (Brazil), Ninho (France), and Tasha & Tracie (Brazil).
