BET Awards 2026: Wizkid & Asake Nominated for Best Group

Wizkid and Asake have officially earned a nomination for Best Group at the 2026 BET Awards, marking another major international recognition for the duo’s growing collaborative success.

The nomination follows the strong reception of their joint work over the past year, including chart-performing collaborations and the release of their collaborative project Real, Vol. 1, which further strengthened the chemistry fans had already noticed on earlier records.

Their recognition in the category highlights the increasing global visibility of Afrobeats acts within major international award spaces. Both artists have individually built strong global reputations over the years, but this nomination reflects how impactful their partnership has become collectively.

For Wizkid, it adds another chapter to an already decorated international awards history, while Asake continues to expand his global profile through consistent commercial success and crossover appeal.
