The BET Awards 2024, hosted by actress, author, and producer Taraji P. Henson, was another incredible ceremony celebrating Black excellence in entertainment.

Megan Thee Stallion, the Hot Girl captain from Texas, set the stage on fire with an electrifying opening performance of “BOA” and “Where Them Girls At.” 

R&B icon Usher was honored with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from industry legends Baby Face, L.A. Reid, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The moment was celebrated through a star-studded musical tribute, including a medley of his hits performed by artists like Chlöe Bailey, Childish Gambino, KeKe Palmer, CoCo Jones, Tinashe, Latto, and more. The industry icon also took home the trophy for “Best Male R&B/Pop Artist.” 

Will Smith made a powerful return to music with his new single, "You Can Make It," which featured a guest appearance by Gospel icon Kirk Franklin and the uplifting voices of the Sunday Service Choir.

Over a dozen awards were given to some of the biggest names in the industry. Victoria Monet, in particular, shone brightly, earning her first-ever BET Award and wowing the audience with her electrifying performances.

Killer Mike's sixth studio album, Michael, maintained its moment after winning “Album of the Year.” The trophy was presented by nominee and guest performer Childish Gambino.
