The Masaka Kids Africana have received special recognition from Black Entertainment Television (BET) for their 'Toose Slide' video that went viral.

Earlier this month, Canadian, American-based rapper Drake released a new single called the ‘Toosie Slide’ which elicited massive reaction across the world.

Drake's song includes some pretty simple dance moves that have taken over the internet especially TikTok.

It has become the fastest music trend to reach a billion views on TikTok, with the star smashing the record previously held by Kylie Jenner.

The Masaka Kids Africana decided to jump on the challenge and three days ago, they released their video that BET has credited to be the best among the thousands of fans that have participated.

Recorded in the ghettos of Uganda, the Masaka Kids are seen dancing bare footed to Drake's song.

The one-minute video has captured more than 800k views on Instagram.

On their official Twitter handle, BET re-shared the video giving the youngsters the crown.

"This is officially the best Toosie Slide!" BET posted.

The Masaka Kids Africana came up just a few years ago with inspiration from the Triplets Ghetto Kids.

Their dances and lifestyle seems to have caught the attention of the international audience. Their dance videos have pulled millions of views on YouTube.

In February, they danced to Eddy Kenzo's Tweyagale and the video on YouTube has more than 19 million views.
