Camidoh Bags First BET Awards Nomination

Ghanaian singer and record producer Raphael Camidoh Kofi Attachie known in showbiz as Camidoh has been nominated in the Viewer’s Choice: Best International Act category in the 2023 BET Awards.

This honour becomes the ‘Sugarcane’ hitmaker’s first-ever nomination in the BET Awards.

The manager of Camidoh, George Britton, shared the information on his Facebook page with the caption, “Congratulations to Camidoh n the team for the BET Best New International Act nomination!!!”.

Camidoh, from Ghana, is contesting in the same category with other powerful artistes like Werenoi (France), FLO (UK), Libianca from Cameroon, Raye (UK), Maureen (France), MC Ryan SP (Brazil), Paris Cooper (South African) and Nigeria’s Asake.

Camidoh adds up to the number of Ghanaian artistes who have either won a BET award or earned nominations in previous years.

Over the years, some Ghanaian artistes who were nominated, with the majority winning the award are Kojo Antwi, D Black, Sarkodie, R2bees, Stonebwoy, Fuse ODG, MzVee, Kwesi Arthur and Black Sherif.

Camidoh earned considerable attention with songs such as For My Lover, Slow, Adoley and Kaba.

However, the VGMA24 Afrobeats Song of the Year winner gained international prominence when he released the remix of ‘Sugarcane’ which featured Mayorkun and Darkoo in 2022.
