Prior to the main event, the Pre-Awards Welcome party set the stage for excitement and anticipation as Camidoh delivered an electrifying performance that left attendees in awe.

The party, held at the prestigious Grammy Museum, was a perfect precursor to the BET Awards, fueling the anticipation for the night’s main event.

In an interview on TV3’s New Day, he expressed his belief in his chances of securing the win.

“Being nominated there means you stand an equal chance. Like everyone in that category stands an equal chance because obviously if there were certain criteria to be ticked for you to be nominated, that means everyone’s box was ticked and that’s why they were nominated,” he said.

Despite his failure to win the coveted award, Camidoh had fun at the event as he connected with several Hollywood Big Whigs.

According to his manager, George Britton in a previous interview, a nomination of this stature was very important as it not only celebrates his achievements as an artist but also shines a spotlight on the rich musical landscape of Ghana.
