It’s a wrap for another year of the BET Hip Hop Awards.
Despite being in the middle of a pandemic, the awards show went on without a hitch and brought performances from some of the hottest (and rising) artists in the genre.
City Girls performed two tracks, “Kitty Talk” and “Jobs,” while rocking skintight catsuits as Burna Boy and Chris Martin delivered a powerful performance of “Monsters You Made.”

Big Sean, Jhené Aiko, and Ty Dolla $ign came together for “Body Language” while Mulatto and Gucci Mane collided for a down south medley.
Lil Baby and 42 Dugg opened things up with “We Paid” while Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz closed the show with “Money Maker,” and Tobe Nwigwe advised people to “Try Jesus, Not Me.”
Brandy, Erykah Badu, Teyana Taylor and H.E.R. put ladies first as they rapped over Brandy 1994 classic hit, “I Wanna Be Down.”
As far as the winners are concerned, Megan Thee Stallion took home three wins tonight, including “Savage (Remix)” with Beyoncé as well as Hustler of the Year and Hip-Hop Artist of the Year.
Best Duo or Group went to Young Thug and Chris Brown, Hip Hop Album of the Year was snagged by Roddy Ricch for Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, Lil Baby won Impact Track for “The Bigger Picture,” and Drake and Future can celebrate winning Best Hip Hop Video for “Life is Good.”
