The 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, held in Las Vegas, became Kendrick Lamar’s night as the Compton rapper dominated with eight awards, solidifying his place as one of hip-hop’s greatest talents.
Lamar, who had 11 nominations, walked away victorious in every category he was nominated for, outshining the top nominee, Megan Thee Stallion, who led the night with 12 nods but left empty-handed.
The 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards were distributed on October 8 at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas.
However, the ceremony was not telecast live on any cable network; instead, it aired as a taped event on BET and VH1 on Tuesday, October 15.
Hosted by Fat Joe, the event featured Megan Thee Stallion vying for 12 prizes following the recent release of her self-titled album—her first independent release.
Kendrick Lamar trailed her with 11 nominations after a turbulent year due to his feud with Drake, who was nominated in eight categories.
The former won the top accolades of the night including Hip Hop Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and more.
Performers at the BET Hip Hop Awards included 2 Chainz, GloRilla, Juicy J, Bossman Dlow, Trina, Yung Miami, and more.
At the ceremony, Travis Scott received the I AM Hip Hop Award for changing the course of hip-hop with a series of groundbreaking albums and conversation-starting moves.
His honorary award came a decade after his breakthrough album, Days Before Rodeo.
