Technical glitch reveals Nasty C as winner Best International Act Africa



The organisers of the award have sparked some drama with their website mistakenly revealing the South African multi-talented rapper to be the winner of that category.

   Nominees                                                                                                                           

The BET Awards has slipped up again, this time, the website of the network revealing South African Hip Hop act Nasty C as winner of the Best International Act Africa 2017.

The Best International Act Africa category has nominees from Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana facing off and contesting keenly for the award. They include Nigeria's Wizkid, Davido, Tekno, and Mr Eazi, Ghana's Stonebwoy, and South Africa's AKA, Babes Wodumo and Nasty C.

This category together with some others was said to have been leaked on the company's website and later quickly pulled off.

But fans of the rapper had already scooped evidence of the revelation from the website and fed it to Nasty C who posted it up on his Instagram page asking th BET folks if he was being pranked or something.

BET eventually released a statement explaining what happened: “An unforeseen technical issue on BET.com’s BET AWARDS show page resulted in several categories revealing randomly selected nominees as winners. We apologize for the confusion to all of the artists affected and to our fans.”

The BET Awards 2017 takes into account achievements that took place in 2016.

Fans all over would have to wait till Sunday June 25, 2017 to get an actual confirmation of the African winner.

Family declines autopsy for U.S. student released by North Korea

An Ohio coroner, abiding by family wishes, has performed an external examination instead of a full autopsy on the body of the U.S. student who was held prisoner in North Korea for 17 months and sent home in a coma, the agency said on Tuesday. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office was still conferring on Tuesday with doctors at a Cincinnati hospital who were treating Otto Warmbier, 22, before reaching any conclusions about his death a day earlier, investigator Daryl Zornes said. Investigators also were continuing to review radiological images and awaiting additional medical records requested by the coroner, Zornes said. He declined to estimate how long it would take for the coroner's office to complete its inquiry. Preliminary autopsy findings had been expected later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. There was no immediate word from the family about why relatives declined an autopsy, which may have shed more light on the cause of the neurological injuries that left him in a com...

Uber Founder Travis Kalanick Resigns as C.E.O

Uber Founder Travis Kalanick                                                                                                     Travis Kalanick stepped down Tuesday as chief executive of Uber, the ride-hailing service that he helped found in 2009 and that he built into a transportation colossus, after a shareholder revolt made it untenable for him to stay on at the company.

Earlier on Tuesday, five of Uber’s major investors demanded that the chief executive resign immediately. The investors included one of Uber’s biggest ...
