Meanwhile, after Libianca stole the show at the BET Awards ahead of Asake, many across Nigerian social media space have been reacting to the news of Libanca winning the BET Viewers’ Choice Best International New Act award.

But some have reacted to the development, noting that Asake probably lost the award to Libianca because he sings mainly in Yoruba, his indigenous language.
