Although Nigerian singer was a no-show at the event held at Microsoft Theatre, he was represented by his mother, Bose Ogulu.

Each year, the BET Awards ceremony celebrates Black entertainers in music, television, movies, sports, and more.
“”This is our show celebrating our people and our talent and our network. This is the biggest night in entertainment,” said host Regina Hall.
