The 2022 edition of the BET Awards was held on Sunday, 26th of June 2022 at the Microsoft Centre in Los Angeles USA. 

Like the previous years, Nigeria had a good representation with Wizkid and Tems winning the award for best collaboration with the hit song Essence. Tems also scooped the award for the Best International Artiste making it two awards for the Nigerian superstar singer for the night. 

Fireboy DML also graced the stage with an eye-catching performance of his record “Playboy” and “Peru”. 

In a rather impromptu acceptance speech, Tems dedicated the Best Collaboration award to Nigeria and Africa. 

For Wizkid, this will be his fourth BET Awards win while this is Tems’ first outing with her loss in the Best New Artist category only preventing her from going home with a hattrick of awards.
