Moliy's groundbreaking performance is more than just a personal achievement; it represents a significant step forward for the entire Ghanaian music industry. While Ghanaian artists like Sarkodie and Stonebwoy have previously won BET Awards, and Black Sherif was nominated this year, Moliy's live performance on the BET stage marks an unparalleled level of global exposure for a Ghanaian act. It highlights the growing international appeal of Afrobeats and the vibrant talent emerging from Ghana, paving the way for future artists to shine on the world's biggest platforms.

Her "Shake It to the Max (FLY)" performance at the BET Awards 2025 is a testament to Moliy's hard work, unique sound, and the undeniable force of Ghanaian music ready to conquer the global stage.
