In light of Black Music Month, Beyoncé’s charity BeyGOOD is celebrating and honouring black artists from all over the world.
Just last night, the BeyGOOD Twitter account shared that they were celebrating Mzansi’s very own, Cassper Nvoyest in the afrobeat and hip hop music genres.
BeyGOOD is Beyoncé’s charity programme that was founded in 2013 during her Mrs Carter World Tour. The organisation works with other local charities to help raise funds and scholarships for college students.
The BeyGOOD account said it is, “Celebrating the brilliance and creativity of Black Musicians who have influenced the world through their art.”

Some of the other artists that the account has honoured this month, include Mary J. Blige, Bob Marley and Elza Soares.
The tweet celebrating Nyovest was published last night and other Twitter users tagged him to bring it to his attention.
The local rapper was caught off-guard when he saw the tweet and only had one word to say “wow”.
