Every DJ Khaled performance feels like a party and nothing is better than partying with friends. At the 2017 BET Awards, DJ Khaled pulled out all the stops. The stage turned into a yacht named after his son Asahd (the little cutie even came to rock out with his dad for a bit). The super producer brought out Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and lastly Lil Wayne to perform his hit song “I’m the One.” It was definitely a bromance moment that had the whole crowd enjoying the peaceful, fun vibe.

Lil Wayne received the I Am Hip Hop Icon Award at the 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards. Flanked by his mother and his oldest daughter, the New Orleans native recounted the time when he was 12 years old and attempted to kill himself. Someone saved his life. "There's a man in New Orleans, his name is Uncle Bob. He came into an apartment one day. He bust in the door, guns drawn, he saw nobody. He saw legs on the floor. It was my legs. He saw blood everywhere. Bunch of police hopped over me. He refused to do so. I never knew, I talked to him the other day, I never knew EMS was on the scene," he said during his heartfelt speech. Weezy F. Baby reiterated his gratitude for Uncle Bob and recognized that he would not be alive were it not for that man's efforts.

Battle rapping is a sacred art in the world of hip hop. It can make or break reputations and going up against an imaginative lyricist like Lil Wayne is daunting. But at the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards, Kevin Hart (aka Chocolate Droppa) went toe-to-toe with Wayne. Hosted by DJ Drama, the “battle” didn’t last too long. Weezy rapped about women, drugs, Hurricane Katrina and the like. Chocolate Droppa talked about Sloppy Joes and duffle bags and by the end, somehow Lil Wayne became the hypeman. Hip hop isn’t always super serious.
