Nigerian singer and Mavin star, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, known professionally as Ayra Starr, has clinched the 2025 Black Entertainment Television (BET) Award for Best International Act.
The 22-year-old singer edged out strong contenders, including South Africa’s Tyla, fellow Nigerian Rema, and Ghana’s Black Sherif, to secure the win.
The ceremony which took place on Monday night at Peacock Theater at Los Angeles, California, USA, is known for honouring Black excellence in music, film, sports, and culture.
Since her debut nomination in 2022, she has earned nods in several categories including Best New International Act (2022), Best International Act (2023), BET Award (2024 for “Commas”), and three categories in 2025.
