Kendrick Lamar was the big winner at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards, winning in four categories – hip hop artist of the year, best live performer, lyricist of the year and, with his creative partner Dave Free, video director of the year.
Lamar made history with all four of these wins. He is the first artist to win hip hop artist of the year three times. He won best live performer for the fourth time, tying Kanye West and Jay-Z for the most wins in the category. He won lyricist of the year for the ninth time, extending his lead for the most wins in the category. Lamar and Free won best video director of the year for the second year in a row, becoming the first directors to win back-to-back awards in that category since Hype Williams won four years running from 2009-12.
The BET Hip Hop Awards were taped last week at the Cobb Energy Center in Atlanta and aired on BET on Tuesday (Oct. 10). There will be an encore airing Tuesday at midnight ET on BET.
Lamar wasn’t the only big winner at the show. Two successful collaborations, Drake & 21 Savage and Lil Durk featuring J. Cole, each won two awards, as did Lil Uzi Vert and Metro Boomin.
Her Loss by Drake & 21 Savage, which topped the Billboard 200 in November 2022, won hip hop album of the year. It’s the third collaboration to win in that category, following Jay-Z & Kanye West’s Watch the Throne (2012) and Beyoncé & Jay-Z’s Everything Is Love (2018). Drake & 21 Savage also won best duo or group.
Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock,” which reached No. 10 on the Hot 100, won song of the year, beating a pair of songs that were notably bigger crossover hits – “All My Life” by Lil Durk featuring J. Cole and “Rich Flex” by Drake & 21 Savage, both of which reached No. 2. “Just Wanna Rock” also won best hip hop video.
But “All My Life” won two other awards — best collaboration and impact track, which is presented to a “song that moves our culture forward with social commentary, political discourse or other thought-provoking lyrics.” This was J. Cole’s record fourth win for impact track. He previously won for “Crooked Smile” featuring TLC, “Love Yours” and Middle Child.”
Metro Boomin became the first producer to win producer of the year three times. He previously won in 2015 and 2017. Kanye West, DJ Mustard and Hit-Boy have each won twice in the category.
Ice Spice won best breakthrough hip hop artist. GloRilla won in the category last year. This marks the first time that women have won back-to-back awards in this category.
Ice Spice is expected to receive a Grammy nomination for best new artist when the nominations for the 66th annual Grammy Awards are announced on Nov. 10. Four former winners of the BET breakthrough award (it has gone by various names over the years) have received Grammy nods for best new artist – Drake, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea and Chance the Rapper (who went on to win the Grammy).
At the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards — which took place at Atlanta’s Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center on Oct. 3 and then broadcast Tuesday night (Oct. 10) — Kendrick Lamar emerged the night’s biggest winner, taking home four prizes. The rapper swept every category he was nominated in, winning hip hop artist of the […]

Here are all of the biggest winners, most memorable performances and highlights from the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards. Griselda Flores:Bad Bunny and Peso Pluma are victorious and both hit the stage … while Karol G gets candid. The Miami area was scorching during the 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards, and we have all the […]
Regional Mexican music star Peso Pluma was the big winner at Thursday night’s (Oct. 5) 2023 Billboard Latin Music Awards, taking home eight awards, including artist of the year, new; Hot Latin Songs artist of the year, male; and the coveted songwriter of the year award, reflecting his more than 20 hits on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.
Pluma’s awards also included four nods alongside trio Eslabón Armado for their runaway hit “Ella Baila Sola,” which won Hot Latin Song of the year and Hot Latin Song of the year, vocal event, among other prizes.
Pluma was followed in number of wins by global superstar Bad Bunny, with seven awards, including artist of the year, tour of the year and Global 200 Latin artist of the year, as well as two awards for his smash hit “Titi me Preguntó.”
Both Pluma and Bad Bunny performed at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, which were produced by MBS Events and aired live on Telemundo from the Watsco Center in Miami.
Next up in wins was Colombian star Karol G, who won five awards, two of them for her album Mañana Será Bonito as Top Latin Album of the year. The set, which debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart — the first Spanish-language album by a female artist to do so in history — also won Latin Rhythm Album of the year. Karol G also took home the Hot Latin Songs artist of the year, female and top Latin Albums artist of the year, female awards. In addition, she was honored with Billboard’s Spirit of Hope Award for her philanthropic work supporting women through her Con Cora Foundation.
The four top winners — Peso Pluma, Bad Bunny, Karol G and Eslabón Armado — reflect the current state of Latin music, where urban beats are living high on the charts along with a new generation of Mexican music artists who have become global successes.
The plurality was also reflected in this year’s special awards, with Mexican cumbia act Los Angeles Azules receiving the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award and reggaetón pioneer Ivy Queen the Icon award.
Finalists and winners of the Billboard Latin Music Awards reflect performance of new recordings on Billboard‘s albums and songs charts during a one-year period from the rankings dated Aug. 13, 2022, through this year’s Aug. 12, 2023 charts. Determinations are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay and touring, tracked by Billboard and its data partner, Luminate.
Other key winners of the evening included Manuel Turizo, Shakira, Bizarrap, Fuerza Regida, Aventura, Camilo, Edgar Barrera, Grupo Frontera, Ivan Cornejo, Maná, Marshmello, Romeo Santos and Wisin & Yandel.

Accompanied by mariachis, the legendary Mexican singer and the Newyorican star gave a powerful performance — the former dressed as a charro, the latter elegantly in black — taking turns to sing fiery verses such as “Now you realize that you changed my love for interest, that things are not done by force”, before joining in beautiful harmony: “I hope it hurts you, I hope you cry like one day I cried.”
