2024 BET AWARDS: WINNERS

The 2024 BET Awards went down Sunday night (6/30) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Hosted by Taraji P. Henson for a third consecutive year, the event celebrated Black artists who've made an indelible mark over the past year.

Killer Mike's Grammy winner Michael was named Album of the Year, SZA earned Best Female R&B/Pop Artist honors and USHER took home Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and a Lifetime Achievement Award. Video of the Year went to Victoria Monét for the "On My Mama" clip; the song is on her Jaguar II album (Lovett Music/RCA). Tyla (Epic) snagged Best New Artist and Best International Artist.

Following performances by Will Smith, Lauryn Hill and her son YG Marley, Sexyy Red, Ice Spice and many (many) others, the ceremony abruptly ended without disclosing who won Best Female and Male Hip-Hop Artist, Best Group, Best Collaboration, Best Video Director and several others. But BET sorted that out quickly, naming Nicki Minaj Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and Kendrick Lamar Best Male Hip-Hop Artist.

Head here for the full list of winners. Needless to say, we continue to be losers.
