Ghana shines at BET Awards

The half Ghanaian and half Sierra Leonean Actor, Idris Elba took home this year’s BET Best Actor Award. It is not shocking to me since Idris Elba’s acting prowess cannot be questioned at all. I surely believe he is the next Denzel Washington and will soon be taking over Hollywood. The East London born actor is merging so well in Hollywood and has a lot of undisputable potentials…

Also, Another half Ghanaian and half Nigerian born in London, Dizzee Rascal took home the Best International Act Award, beating our own Kojo Antwi and others…

Join GhanaCelebrities.Com to say Congrats to Idris Elba & Dizzee Rascal ..
