MIAMI (CelebrityAccess) — For the second year in a row, rapper and social media icon Cardi B won top honors at the 2018 BET Awards.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper took home the awards for MVP of the Year and held on to her 2017 titles for Hustler of the year, as well as the Made You Look Award for the best hip-hop style.
Lil Wayne, fresh from the long-delayed release of his twelfth studio album “Tha Carter V” was presented with the I Am Hip-Hop award, while the late Florida rap icon XXXTentacion, who was killed during an apparent robbery earlier this year, won a posthumous award for Best New Hip Hop Artist.
Kendrick Lamar won the award for Lyricist of the Year behind his 2017 smash hit “Damn” while Beyonce and Jay-Z Carter won the award for Best Collaboration for their hit “Apes**t”
The awards took place at the Fillmore Miami Beach in Florida, with comedian DeRay Davis handling the hosting duties.
