2021 BET Hip Hop Awards: The Full Winners List [Live Updating]
After great anticipation, the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards aired on Tuesday, October 5th—and we are pleased to announce that the 16th annual event was well worth the wait!
The star-studded event, held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia, was filled with unforgettable moments, including a star-studded rap cypher and a viral performance by "I Am Hip Hop" honoree, Nelly!
Tonight’s ceremony also featured show-stopping performances by Tobe Nwigwe, Gunna, Bia, Lil Jon, Baby Keem, and Isaiah Rashad.
Simply stated, the ceremony hosted by 85 South—for the second consecutive year—was one to remember. We're sure that it was more meaningful for artists whose creativity landed them an award on hip hop’s biggest night out!
Please join us in celebrating the following award recipients for their remarkable accomplishments.
