AKA selected to perform at BET pre-party

Johannesburg- Hip-hop sensation AKA is set to wow fans in Los Angeles at a BET build-up event this Saturday.

The 'BET Hip Hop Around The World Experience' will be followed by the global music awards ceremony on Sunday evening.

AKA, who has been nominated in the Best International Act: Africa category, will also be attending the glitzy ceremony where he hopes to clinch the title.

The All Eyes on Me star was selected to perform at the A-list party, as part of a showcase of hip-hop stars making waves outside of the USA. 

"I'm looking forward to enjoying LA and the BET's. It's a big deal to be nominated amongst Africa's finest artists at the awards. I'll be coming straight off the back of my UK tour so it's going to be nice to have some warm weather for a change. The performance at the BET Hip Hop Around The World Experience is definitely going to be a highlight for me," AKA said.

Other South African musicians who have been nominated for a BET include The Soil and Cassper Nyovest.

All the best guys!
