The 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards were handed out on October 8 at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub in Las Vegas. However, the ceremony was not broadcast live on any cable network; Instead, it aired as a taped program on Tuesday, October 15 on BET and VH1.
Hosted by Fat Joe, the event saw Megan Thee Stallion compete for 12 awards following the release of her recent self-titled album – her first independent release. Kendrick Lamar followed with 11 nominations, following a tumultuous year due to his feud with Drake, who was nominated in eight categories.

Performers at the BET Hip Hop Awards included 2 Chainz, GloriLA, Juicy J, Bossman Dlow, Trina, Yung Miami and others.
