This year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards did not lack any kind of star power.
DJ Khaled provided the major keys as he hosted the event creating many memorable moments throughout the night. Performances were headlined by a plethora of talent which included Travis Scott, Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Young M.A., and Lil’Yachty amongst others.
Drake led in nominations with 14 while his touring partner Future followed with a close 10.
Of course it wouldn’t be a BET Hip-Hop Awards show without Cyphers. I must say this year didn’t include the biggest names as Cyphers in the past, but it combined the perfect kind of newcomers and veterans. Watch the best ones below.
