Roommates, how many of you guys tuned into the Bet Awards last night? It was all about Prince last night and throughout the show, he was honored with amazing musical tributes. Now, when it came to the nominations, this year had tight competition, because Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ was up against Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ and Rihanna’s ‘Work’, all of which have become essential to pop culture this year.
However, Queen Bey came out on top with 5 wins, which solidifies her title as the most decorated artist at the BET Awards with 24 cumulative wins! Congratulations are also in order for Bryson Tiller, because he won his first award ever as an artist –in fact, he won two last night!
