Mavado's popularity will continue to rise in the United States with the BET world premiere of his So Special video.

The video, which is directed by Ras Kassa, will be shown for the first time this Monday on BET's 106 & Park. The video was done in December, with the final touches being done recently.

Mavado's manager, Julian Jones-Griffith, said it has always been their intention to get the video on the station.

In addition, he said the presenters of the show have been requesting the video for some time.

"The presenters on BET (106 & Park) have been shouting us and saying they want a video. They have been waiting for us to do it," Jones-Griffith told THE STAR.

"Mavado is very popular in the States and it's a chance for people to connect his face with his music."

Jones-Griffith said Mavado is 'glad and excited' about the world premiere on 106 & Park.

While it would be a good opportunity for Mavado to be on the show as the video is being presented, Jones-Griffith said it seems unlikely.

"With new artistes, they don't usually have you on the sofa so early," Jones-Griffith said.

So Special continues to gain on the Billboard Hot 100 Hip Hop and R&B chart alongside Serani's No Games.

Mavado's sophomore album is set to be released in March.
