Kendrick Lamar Wins Big at 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards

Kendrick Lamar did not make an appearance at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night (Oct. 15), but he still managed to earn the most accolades at the show.

The event took place at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas after being recorded on Oct. 8. The West Coast MC secured eight wins in various categories.

He was awarded Hip Hop Artist of the Year, beating out Drake, 21 Savage, Cardi B, Future, GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, and Nicki Minaj.

Kendrick also won Lyricist of the Year, competing against Lil Wayne, Common, 21, Cardi, Drake, Megan, and Nicki. Megan received the most nominations with 12 nods but did not win in any of the categories.

Kendrick’s hit song “Not Like Us,” which became a best-selling smash as a result of his rap battle with Drake, swept the categories for Song of the Year, Best Hip Hop Video, and Impact Track.

The 37-year-old rapper’s appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” another diss in the feud with Drizzy, earned Kendrick wins for Best Collaboration and Sweet 16: Best Featured Verse.

He can even add Video Director of the Year to his list of accomplishments. Kendrick and Dave Free won against Cole Bennett, Dave Meyers & Travis Scott, 20k Visuals, A$AP Rocky, Cactus Jack, Doja Cat & Nina McNeely, and Offset.

Kendrick Lamar is arguably rap’s MVP this year after coming out on top in the rap battle against Drake, which became one of the biggest beefs in hip-hop history.
