Sensational star Ayra Starr is celebrating the three nominations grabbed at the 2024 BET Awards, which is scheduled for later in June this year.
Her name appeared in the Best New Artist, and Best International Act categories, while her 2024 Commas is being considered for the award called ‘Best Her.’
Though she will face stiff competition from other showstoppers like Tyla, Rihanna, Asake, and others, the Sability hitmaker, for now, is impressed with her selection in the various categories.
She took to her X (Twitter) handle on Friday after the names were announced, describing the three nominations as “crazy.” She wrote: “Commas’ just dropped this year, but it’s already holding it down for Afrobeats with a BET nomination. The nominations are crazy! Wow.”
The young performer who calls her fans the “Mobstarrs” will come head-to-head with Asake, South Africa’s Tyla, French singer Aya Nakamura, British superstar Raye, Brazil’s Karol Conká, and others in the Best International Act category.
