The annual award function is hosted every year to celebrate the excellence of the coloured community across films, music, sports, philanthropy, and television.
Last year, the BET Awards was one of the first major awards shows to take place virtually after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, hosted by 'Insecure' actor Amanda Seales.
However, this year, the award function returned to the live show format and welcomed back an in-person, vaccinated audience.
