Burna Boy’s mother, Mama Burna gave a very powerful speech after the singer was announced winner for Best International Act at the 2019 BET Awards that held last night.
“He must be the most restless person I ever met, because he was here right now,” Burna’s mother said of her son as she accepted his award.
“Thank you very much BET. Thank you Africa. Because that’s the constituency for which we got noticed in the first place. And the message from Burna, I believe, would be that every black person should please remember that you were Africans before you became anything else.
“Thank you,” she concluded, lifting the award plaque and left the stage.
