BET 2019 Hip Hop Awards: Full List Of Nominees & Winners

As everyone knows, last night was one of the biggest nights in hip-hop. Many feel the genre and culture is not celebrated as much as it’s supposed to be, so it’s good to see all the artists, producers, and DJ’s acknowledged for their hard work and contributions to the culture. This year, the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards ceremony was hosted by Lil Duval and was held from Atlanta's own Cobb Energy Center. Cardi B lead the nominations with ten nominations in total while DJ KhaledTravis Scott and J. Cole trailed behind the star with eight nominations each. Drake also had seven nominations while Nipsey Hussle and Megan Thee Stallion were tied at five each. They were followed by Meek Mill, DaBaby, 21 Savage & Ricky Rozay who had 4 nominations each.

After clinching four wins at last year’s festivities, Cardi was looking to bring home more victories this time with her 10 nominations which included MVP of the Year, hot ticket performer, hustler of the year, best collab, single of the year, made-you-look award, and two nods for the best hip-hop video, & sweet 16 categories. Unfortunately, she only ended up bringing home two awards last night which included Best Hip-Hop video for Money, and the Made-You-Look (Best-Style) award. J.Cole won the most awards last night while taking home awards such as Lyricist of the Year, Sweet 16: Best featured verse, and Impact Track. Performances were given by Anderson Paak, Chance the Rapper, DaBaby, Kamillion, Lil Baby, Lil Jon, Megan the Stallion, Offset, Rhapsody, Rick Ross, Saweetie, T-Pain, Tom G, and YBN Cordae. The most anticipated award of the night (MVP of the Year) was presented to the late-great, legendary Nipsey Hussle.
