Method Man, Griselda & More Honored DMX At 2021 BET Awards [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bennett Raglin / Getty All dogs go to heaven and Hip-Hop made sure DMX felt the love all the way from Los Angeles. Some of his closest peers paid tribute to the late MC at the 2021 BET Awards. Swizz Beatz ensured Dark Man X received the proper send off at this year’s BET Awards. The moment took top billing too as it closed out the ceremony. Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man set things off with his rendition of X’s classic single “Get At Me Dog” from his debut album It’s Dark and Hell is Hot. As he cruised through the first verse he was joined by Swizz and some key members from the Ruff Ryder collective including Joaquin “Waah” Dean and Darrin “Dee” Dean. Next Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine and Benny The Butcher hit the stage to perform “Hood Blu...
Saweetie Reveals How Meeting Cher Made Her Push Back Her Album Release
The other nominees for best female hip hop artist were Cardi B, Coi Leray, Doja Cat and eventual winner Megan Thee Stallion. Saweetie’s single “Best Friend,” alongside fellow nominee Doja, is her highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit yet, reaching No. 14. The track also climbed to No. 1 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart. Saweetie’s debut album, Pretty Bitch Music, was slated to release last week alongside Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost and Doja Cat’s Planet Her, but thanks to none other than pop icon Cher, the project was postponed and Saweetie headed back to the studio. “Me and Cher are working on a really big campaign. I can’t share too much because of contracts,” Saweetie tells Billboard. ...
Cardi B Reveals Pregnancy During BET Awards 2021 Performance With Migos
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Cardi B is pregnant with baby number two, and the announcement was unique, to say the least. Bardi showed off her baby bump while performing with the Migos during last night’s (June 28), BET Awards. The Migos, utilizing some choreography, performed “Straightenin” and “Type Sh*t,” from their recently released Culture III. It was during the latter when Cardi B popped out in a skin-tight outfit that prominently showcased her healthy baby bump. Toting a gut full of Offset seed didn’t stop her from a spirited performance and even dropping it low. Ever social media savvy, minutes after the performance Bardi posted a photo of herself in the nude, save for the white mold covering her breasts and baby bump. “#2! @OffsetYRN,” she wrote for the ...
Queen Latifah Gives Moving BET ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ Speech
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty The 2021 BET Awards had a few moments that had social media users typing away on their personal pages, but for us, Queen Latifah’s Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech was the most moving thing we saw and heard all night. With three decades worth of an entertainment career under her belt, the Hip-Hop legend (and HHW’s GOAT Female Rapper) was honored last night (June 27) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles by BET with their Lifetime Achievement Award. After some dope performances from Rapsody who paid homage to the Queen with her own rendition of “Ladies First,” and Lil Kim who did “U.N.I.T.Y.,” the rapper/actress took to the stage and gave a heartfelt speech with a picture of her dearly departed mother in her hand. Thankin...

All the 2021 BET Awards Performances Ranked
Here’s how we rank the 16 performances from Culture’s Biggest Night, from worst to best. 16. Moneybagg Yo!, “Time Today” Moneybagg Yo! certainly had time today to party with a live rendition of his lead single from his Billboard 200 No. 1 album A Gangsta’s Pain. But it wasn’t as rich as the Benjamin Franklins that flashed on the screen and on the stage. 15. DaBaby, “Ball If I Want To” DaBaby was outbabied at his own performance with the giant baby figure. Staying true to the “Ball If I Want To” music video, the self-proclaimed Billboard Baby took a break from topping the charts and decided to top a gym class rope-like braid, where elsewhere in P.E., a group of older men were shooting hoops. 14. Roddy Ricch, “Late At Night” While the evening skyline came alive within the ...
Cardi B, Beyonce & More Artists Who Have Competed Against Themselves For Video of the Year at BET Awards
Beyoncé has had two nominated videos as a lead or co-lead artist three times, more than any other artist. Jay-Z, like Cardi B, has done it twice. But does having two nominated videos mean that Cardi B is so hot she is likely to win with one or the other, or that her competing entries are likely to split her votes so that neither one wins? The history of the BET Awards doesn’t yield a clear answer. In the nine previous times that an artist has had two nominated videos (as a lead or co-lead artist), that artist won five times. In the other four cases, somebody else won the award. Here’s a full list of artists who have had two video of the year nominees as lead or co-lead artists — and who won the award that year. OutKast, 2004: “Hey Ya!” and “The Way You Move” (featuring Sleepy Brown) ...
At 51, Queen Latifah to Get Lifetime Achievement Award at 2021 BET Awards
While 37 may be awfully young to get a lifetime achievement award, it’s a good thing BET recognized Houston while she was still here to receive her flowers, to use a currently popular expression. Houston died unexpectedly in 2012 at age 48. Prince was also on the young side when he received a lifetime achievement award from BET. He was 52 when he received the honor in 2010. He too died unexpectedly in 2016 at age 57. Neither Houston nor Prince has yet received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy (though those awards are sometimes presented posthumously, so either may still receive it). Prince lived to see his induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in 2004). Houston did not live to see her Rock Hall induction (in 2020). The oldest solo artist to receive a lifetime ...
A Closer Look at the 2021 BET Awards Nominees for Best New Artist
Here’s a closer look at the nominees. They’re listed in alphabetical order. Coi Leray: The rapper, 24, has two nominations. She’s also up for best female hip hop artist. Leray has placed two singles on the Billboard Hot 100: “No More Parties” (featuring Lil Durk, No. 26) and “Big Purr (Prrdd)” (featuring fellow nominee Poo Shiesty, No. 69). Coi is featured on YSL’s “I Like,” a track from Slime Language 2, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May. Leray was Billboard’s R&B/hip-hop rookie of the month for April. As Neena Rouhani noted in a Q&A that announced that designation, “Despite the infancy of her career, the multi-faceted performer has already collaborated with a plethora of fellow charting rappers, including Gunna, DDG and Yung Bleu.” In addition, Leray has released ...
BET Awards Will Host Vaccinated-Only Live Audience This June
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: BET Awards 2020 / Getty The annual BET Awards went to a virtual format last year due to the restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic but with numbers lowering by the day, the program makes a return. This coming June, Los Angeles will play host to the anticipated awards program with a vaccinated-only live audience. According to a report from Deadline, Microsoft Theatre will be the venue to host the 2021 BET Awards event, which should come as a relief to the many entertainers and creators who rely on live events to promote their artistic wares.

Big Sean Heats Up ‘Body Language’ With Jhene Aiko & Ty Dolla $ign at the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards
Big Sean brought some famous friends with him when he performed “Body Language” at the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday (Oct. 27). Along for the ride were track collaborators Ty Dolla $ign and Jhene Aiko. Their steamy performance kicked off with Big Sean and Aiko watching TV on a set built to resemble a bedroom. Outside the “windows,” a massive forest fire burned, casting a red light on everything as the two sang. Later, as Ty Dolla $ign was singing in the fog, lightning flashed. At one point, as Aiko and Big Sean sang, the latter sat down on the bed, with Aiko eventually joining him on his lap. “Bring that body to me/ Baby, come closer, closer/ Bring it to me/ Oh, yeah, baby, I’ll give you ecstasy,” she crooned.
