Khaligraph to the world yo! That's the mood right now after learning that the OG and Africa's best rapper bagged a BET Hip Hop awards nomination.
The OG was nominated for the “Best International Flow” a category which will be recognizing acts from across the world.
Khaligraph will be going head to head with Djonga (Brazil), Kaaris (France), Meryl (France), Ms Banks (UK), South Africa's Nasty C and Stormzy from UK.
Reacting to the amazing news, Khali wrote,
"Yooooooooh, KHALIGRAPH JONES IS A MOVEMENT, My 1st Ever BET Nomination in The Best International Flow Category, The OG Shall be respected."
The prestigious nomination comes just days after Khali killed the stage down at the coast with a high energy performance after a long time.
It also comes just a day after the president opened up the economy meaning artists will now be allowed to perform in clubs and events till 10pm.
American rappers, DaBaby and Roddy Ricch bagged the most BET nomnations with 12 and 11 nominations respectively.
Megan Thee Stallion and Drake followed with 8 nominations each.
The awards show will simulcast on BET Africa at 3:00am CAT on October 28th.
