The 2023 BET Awards are a wrap!

Six awards were given out on Sunday night’s (June 25) telecast, with Latto accepting best female hip-hop Artist and Coco Jones accepting Best new artist in person.

In the 15 non-televised awards, there were two high-profile ties: Beyoncé’s Renaissance and SZA’s SOS tied for album of the year, while Chris Brown and Usher tied for best male R&B/pop artist.

Teyana Taylor‘s mother, Nikki, accepted her daughter’s award and even called her up via FaceTime during the broadcast to let her know she won video director of the year.

Rapper, songwriter, actor, and producer Busta Rhymes was deservingly honoured with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” presented by actor and comedian Marlon Wayans and award-winning producer and songwriter Swizz Beatz.

The show was a Non-stop Hip Hop Party celebrating 50 years of the genre throughout the LIVE telecast. From West Coast to East Coast, Trap to Bounce, Afro Beats, and Dance Hall, the culture’s finest are set to deliver a full range of Hip Hop favourites.
