He said ;
“I’ll like to use this opportunity to say that sometime around 1835, there was a mission to turn Africa into a dominated nation.”
“Now is the time to overturn that and go back to the royalty that we were, because, in order for black lives to matter, Africa must matter”
This is the first ever virtual BET awards and this resulted due to the restrictions because of the corona virus pandemic.
