Local R&B musician Elaine continues to shine her black girl magic after she snagged a nomination for this year’s BET Awards.

The You’re The One and Risky hitmaker has been nodded in the category Viewer’s Choice: Best New International Act.

Nigerian singer Tems joins Elaine as the only two African acts to represent the continent in the highly coveted category.

Tems is renowned for her collaboration with Wizkid on hit song Essence as well as the remix of American musician Khalid’s Know Your Worth.

They will duke it out with Arlo Parks and Bree Runway from the UK and MC Dricka from Brazil.
