Nigeria’s StarBoy and South Africa’s Anatii both earned BET Soul Train Awards last night for their contributions to Beyoncé’s hit song “Brown Skin Girl.”
The song, which is an ode to dark-skinned women, was one of the standout tracks from Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift. It earned the “Ashford and Simpson Songwriter’s Award” last night during the awards ceremony in Las Vegas. Wizkid is featured on the track and has a writing credit, while Anatii is credited as a composer along with Michael Uzowuru, and others.
