Last night was the night that everyone’s been waiting for, the 2015 BET Awards! Much like every year, we anticipate for months who will walk the red carpet, present awards, host, perform, and who will take home an award.
Nicki Minaj graced the red carpet with her mother and boyfriend Meek Mill by her side, which I’m sure had all her Barbz on 100. Rihanna who looked beautiful as usual, sported a roll of duct tape on her arm which she later used to tape Floyd Mayweather’s mouth shut. Diddy skipped around the stage like old times for Bad Boy’s reunion performance, only to end up taking a nasty fall. Zendaya fooled us all with a new hairstyle that her fans didn’t approve of, only to later take to her Instagram to snatch the wig off of her head and show us all that she still had her beautiful tresses underneath.
Some of the epic moments from last night’s event included Chris Brown, Tyga, and Omarion’s performance of “Liquor”, “Ayo”, and “Post To Be”, Alicia Keys and The Weeknd’s duet, Big Sean’s stellar performance of his songs “One Man Can Change The World”, “Blessed”, and “IDFWU” featuring California’s own E-40, the beautiful yet emotional Janet Jackson tribute, not to mention Fetty Wap’s closing performance of the anthem of the year, Trap Queen.
It was quite a memorable night! In case you missed it, I’ve provided a complete list of the winners below. Check it out and see if your favorite artist made the list!
