The BET Awards (Black Entertainment Television Awards) took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles last night, delivering huge performances, big wins, and emotional speeches.
The first major live, in-person awards show since the pandemic hit, this year’s edition featured performances from the likes of Migos and Tyler, the Creator. With the theme “Year of the Black Woman,” rapper and actress Queen Latifah received this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion was tied with Da Baby for having the most nominations of the night and took home gongs for “Best Female Hip Hop Artist,” “Best Collaboration,” “Viewer’s Choice” and “Video of the Year.” The recently passed DMX was also honored with a special tribute performance from Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Swizz Beatz, and Michael K. Williams.
