The award is the that the singer has won outside Uganda – a motivation to work hard to win in the BET Awards as well. 

 

While in Ghana, Namatovu says she met and built partnerships with many African celebrities such as Yvonne Chaka Chaka, 2-Face Idibia (2baba) who gave her courage and
tips that she will use to win the award.

Other Ugandan artistes who in Ghana are Bebe Cool who defeated Tanzanian Star, Diamond Platnumz for the Best Male Artiste (East Africa), and Sandra Nankoma (Best Female Artist, African Inspirational Music).
