Eddy Kenzo of the Sitya Loss fame is a nominee in the brand new category of International Viewers' Choice Award celebrating rising stars..To vote for Eddy, use the #IpickEddy on the BET Africa social network platforms. In this category, Kenzo is battling with Cassper Nyovest from South Africa, Mz Vee from Ghana, Mic Lowry, George The Poet and Novelist all from United Kingdom.

Again, the International Viewers Choice Award should not be mixed with The Best International Act, Africa Category of which Kenzo is not among the artists nominated. Below is the list of the nominees with Sauti Sol as the only artist from East Africa.

• AKA -  South Africa
• Fally Ipupa - DRC
• Sarkodie - Ghana
• Sauti Sol - Kenya
• Stonebwoy - Ghana
• The Soil - South Africa
• Wizkid - Nigeria
• Yemi Alade - Nigeria

Moze Radio and Weasel were in 2013 nominated in the BET Awards but they lost to Ice Prince. In a related development, Zari has been forced out of her bed to rally behind our 'in-law', Diamond Platnumz and Bebe Cool in the MTV Africa Music awards. Zari's action is as a result of the pressure from Wema Sepetu who has since withdrawn her support from Diamond and channeled it to his rivals.
