Amanda was nominated in the Viewers Choice: Best International category which was announced on Thursday.

An overjoyed Amanda took to social media to share news of her nomination and encouraged her fans to vote.

"Just got nominated for the BET Awards 2017. Ohh my gaahd. Just made my great day even greater!" she wrote in a post.

Amanda will compete in the category against Dave (United Kingdom), Jorja Smith (United Kingdom), RayVanny (Tanzania), Changmo (South Korea), Daniel Caesar (Canada), Remi (Australia) and Skip Marley (Jamaica).
