Media personality Daniel Regha has criticised the organisers of the BET Awards after Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, aka Tems, won the Best Gospel/Inspirational category.

The award ceremony was held on June 30 in Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, United States, with Hollywood actress, Taraji P. Henson, as its host for the third consecutive time.

The nominees in the Best Gospel/Inspirational category were Tems, Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Cece Winans, Shirley Caesar, Erica Campbell, Halle Bailey, Naomi Raine, and Chandler Moore.

Daniel Regha tackles Simi and Tiwa Savage

Legit.ng earlier reported that Daniel had rebuked famous singers Simi and Tiwa Savage over their new song.

In the song, the singers described men as crazy and scum, and this did not go down well with Daniel.

He noted that Simi was married to a man, and Tiwa had a son; hence, attacking men in their first collaboration wasn't cool.
