Reemakable : referring to Burna’s speech on Africa and black lives,” Yessir @burnaboy! I love to hear it! Africa MATTERS”
Burna Boy becomes the only artist to win that award for two consecutive times
The awards ceremony hosted by Insecure star Amanda Seales, was presented virtually due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
