Kendrick Lamar made a significant mark at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards — although he wasn’t in attendance — snagging 8 of the evening’s premier accolades!!!
This year’s festivities were emceed by Fat Joe and took place at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas for the first-ever occasion… Attendees included 2 Chainz, Soulja Boy, Lola Brooke, Bossman DLow, LightSkinKeisha, and countless others on the red carpet.
Evidently, Kendrick’s fiery lyrics directed at Drake have put him in the spotlight as the top contender in the rap scene this year — and it seems like BET acknowledged that as well.
Kendrick was honored with the titles of Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, Lyricist of the Year, and Video Director of the Year alongside his pgLang partner Dave Free.
His chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us” received accolades for Song of the Year, Best Hip-Hop Video, and Impact Track.
His stellar guest spot on Future and Metro Boomin‘s “Like That” earned him wins for Best Collaboration and Best Featured Verse.
Nicki Minaj took home the award for Hip-Hop Album of the Year with “Pink Friday 2” … Sexyy Red secured the Breakthrough Artist Award … The Alchemist was recognized as Producer Of The Year … and a political interlude was included given the election year.
Joe and Too Short conducted an interview with Kamala Harris, where she criticized Donald Trump over Project 2025.
All in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves, especially with the venue being in Las Vegas.
Not landing any accolades didn’t imply that the prominent rappers couldn’t flaunt their stylish looks!!!
