BET Awards 2023: See the Complete Winners List
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! The 2023 BET Awards took place in Los Angeles this past Sunday and let me tell you, it was one for the books. We had our eyes glued to the screen as the nominations were announced, and it’s no surprise that the man of the hour was none other than the legendary Drake.
With a whopping seven nominations under his belt, including Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, and Best Group with the talented 21 Savage, Drake dominated the field. But he’s not the only one making waves this year.
GloRilla, the rising star who captured our hearts with her hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” snagged six nominations, proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with. And let’s not forget about the fierce competition from Lizzo and 21 Savage, who both earned five nominations each. It’s going to be a night to remember, folks! So mark your calendars and tune in to BET at 8 p.m. ET/PT to witness the magic unfold on the ultimate platform celebrating the best of the Black experience.
