She will join the league of African winners which include Akon and Tanzanian supermodel Millen Magese. Yvonne will leave for the awards showcase on the 20th of June for the event which will happen on the 29th in Los Angeles.

It is a proud moment when one of the best pan-African musicians get international recognition. This year’s BET’s feature a very controversial African act category nominees. It seems to be a Nigerian and South African affair. All that will not stop us from celebrating with them when they get the nod.
