After being taped a week ago, the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards aired on Tuesday night (Oct. 15). Fat Joe played host for a third consecutive year as plenty of stars filled Drai’s Nightclub in Las Vegas.
It was an action-filled night in Sin City as Travis Scott was presented with the I Am Hip Hop Award, and the Houston native was grateful for the recognition.
“I come from this generation where they considered us nowhere near hip-hop and every day I tried to push the sound,” Scott said. “And coming in as a producer, nobody knew what the f–k I was tryna do. But I always had this idea and I had this vision still to this day to take this sound and take things to the next level.”
Kendrick Lamar added to his dominant year with eight victories out of the 11 nominations he had — including artist of the year — which left Megan Thee Stallion empty-handed after earning a leading 12 nominations.
In the midst of the blackjack cards being dealt and craps dice being rolled, energetic performances filled the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards with 2 Chainz, 310babii, Big Boogie, GloRilla, Bossman Dlow, E-40, Juicy J, “All the Way Turnt Up” collaborators Soulja Boy and Roscoe Dash as well as 305 representatives Trina and Yung Miami hitting the stage.
