As expected, the BET Awards 2022 went down as “culture’s biggest night.”
Airing via the network on Sunday, June 27, hip-hop and pop culture’s biggest names were recognized for their contributions to the entertainment world and the Black community.
Heading into the ceremony, Doja Cat led the pack of potential winners with her six nominations.
Drake and Ari Lennox trailing shortly behind, receiving four nominations each.
Interestingly, neither of the three won awards at the ceremony despite their lead in nominations.
Instead, the award show’s big winners included Will Smith, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar and Tems.
Additionally, Diddy received the night’s Lifetime Achievement Awards and was celebrated by host Taraji P. Henson, Mary J. Blige and Kanye West.
