    Nigerian singer, Ayra Starr, won Best International Act at the 2025 BET Awards.

    The 22-year-old shocked many as she beat strong contenders including South Africa’s Tyla, Ghana’s Black Sherif, and fellow Nigerian star Rema.

    Her win has since gone viral online, with many praising her growth and consistency in the music industry.

    Ayra Starr has been nominated for several BET categories over the years — including Best New International Act in 2022, Best International Act in 2023, BET Her Award in 2024, and multiple categories this year.

    But this is her first time clinching the international win.

    The BET Awards are known for recognising Black talent in music, film and culture globally.

    Her latest win now cements her name among Nigerian artists who have made history on the international stage.
