BET Hip-Hop Awards 2024 will take place in Viva Las Vegas on October 8, according to press release. The award show will premiere on October 15 at 8 PM ET/PT on BET.
Nominations and performances were not announced but executives promised an incredible night of entertainment that celebrates the best of the year in hip-hop in a new city.
The president and CEO of BET, Scott Mills, wrote on this year’s award show: “From the groundbreaking performances of legends like Sammy Davis Jr. and Lena Horne, who shattered racial barriers, to today’s leading and emerging artists, Las Vegas’ vibrant energy reflects the innovation, soul, and storytelling that Black culture continuously contributes. BET is excited to bring ‘BET Hip Hop Awards’ to a city known for its electrifying atmosphere and rich history of awe-inspiring entertainment.”
Hip-Hop Awards 2023 included performances by Jermaine Dupri, Lil Uzi Vert, and DJ Drama. Last year’s show celebrated Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary. Hip-hop fans can expect a night of electrifying performances, star-studded appearances, and the crowning of the year’s best acts in October.
“In 2023, BET paid homage to the legacy, impact, and evolution of hip hop during its golden anniversary, punctuating the year-long celebration with ‘BET Hip Hop Awards,” said Connie Orlando, EVP of Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET. This year, we will continue to honor the genre while pushing boundaries with fresh experiences, including an unforgettable night in Las Vegas. We’re thrilled to continue to bring fans memorable performances and surprises that will make for another epic night of hip hop.”
In July, the BET Awards honored Usher with a lifetime achievement award. Angela Simmons delivered one of the BET Awards 2023 most memorable moments.
Soon, a distinguished voting academy of music industry experts will announce the award show’s nominees and performers.
