Kendrick Lamar emerged as the undisputed champion of the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards (taped Oct. 8 and broadcast Tuesday), sweeping all eight categories in which he was nominated.  Despite entering the night with 11 nominations, Lamar ultimately outshined Megan Thee Stallion, who led with 12 nominations but failed to secure a win.
Lamar's victories included top honors, such as Hip Hop Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “Not Like Us,” and Lyricist of the Year. He also won Video Director of the Year, shared with Dave Free for their work on the “Not Like Us” music video.



In contrast, Megan Thee Stallion, known for her chart-topping hits, was surprisingly absent from the winners' circle, a shock to many given her leading number of nominations.

Other notable wins included Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2,” which took home Hip Hop Album of the Year, reaffirming her lasting influence. Sexyy Red was crowned Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist, while 50 Cent earned the Hustler of the Year title for his business ventures.

Hosted by Fat Joe, the awards ceremony highlighted both veterans and emerging stars, showcasing hip-hop's lasting impact and global reach.
