Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation, Camidoh, has shared his overwhelming shock and gratitude in response to his nomination for the BET’s Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act award for 2023.
The talented artist found himself among a select group of outstanding global musicians vying for prestigious accolades including Asake from Nigeria, Flo from the UK, Libianca from Cameroon, Maureen from France, Mc Ryan SP from Brazil, Pabi Cooper from South Africa, Raye from the UK, and Werenoi from France.
In an interview on TV3 New Day, Camidoh expressed his disbelief at the nomination, stating, “I am still really in shock because I don’t even know what to say. Yesterday, I had to take time to really process it because it’s really like one big blessing. This was not something I was looking out for, do you understand? I mean, I am just grateful.”

The singer admitted that the recognition came as a surprise, highlighting that it was not a goal he had actively pursued.
Nevertheless, he acknowledged the significance of the nomination and regarded it as a valuable lesson in his journey. Camidoh emphasized his deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to be recognized on such a renowned platform.
When asked about the key factors contributing to his success, Camidoh attributed it to his strategic marketing plan and relentless commitment to reaching a global audience.
He explained that his team prioritizes delivering captivating performances during their international shows, making sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences in each country they visit. These efforts, he believes, played a significant role in bringing him to this point in his career.
“To answer your question I think it depends on your goal and based on your marketing plan. It’s just us doing shows across the globe and when we go into this country and we do the most to ensure that everyone hears of the brand and it cements on the end before you leave, I think these were the very small things that we were doing that brought us here,” he submitted.
As the anticipation builds, fans and well-wishers are encouraged to rally behind Camidoh and cast their votes, contributing to his journey towards potentially claiming the coveted honour at the BET Awards which will take place at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday, June 25.
