Moliy delivered a show-stopping performance at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles
Ghanaian singer Moliy has etched her name in music history, becoming the first female artiste from Ghana to grace the stage at the prestigious BET Awards ceremony.
On June 9, 2025, Moliy delivered a show-stopping performance at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, a few hours before the main awards show, captivating the audience with her smash hit “Shake It to the Max (FLY).”
She was joined by collaborator Silent Addy, as the duo brought vibrant Afrobeats energy to the global platform.
Viral clips on social media showed Moliy, dressed in a striking golden-green dress, while fans waved Ghanaian and Jamaican flags in excitement.
This comes just weeks after her electrifying set at the 2025 Ghana Music Awards in Accra.
Celebrating the achievement on social media, Moliy shared a triumphant video with the caption, “When you’re the first Ghanaian to perform at the BETs.”
Her groundbreaking appearance marks a major moment for Ghanaian music on the world stage.
It should be noted that Sarkodie had earlier performed at the BET Experience in 2014, a few days before the main awards event.
Moliy, however, performed on the main day of the awards at the theatre.
Meanwhile, Nigerian Afropop star Ayra Starr clinched the Best International Act award, becoming the sole African winner of the night.
This marks her first BET Award, joining a prestigious list of past African winners like Burna Boy, Tems, and Tyla.
She beat Black Sherif (Ghana), Uncle Waffles (Eswatini), and Rema (Nigeria), who were all nominated.
