BET Awards 2022: The Complete Winners List

Black excellence took center stage at the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday night to celebrate achievements across music, television, film, and sports. 

Taraji P. Henson once again hosted the show at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater, where artists, including Chloe Bailey, Jack Harlow, Roddy Ricch, Chance the Rapper, Ella Mai and Lizzo, who kicked off the festivities with a disco-fied opening number, performed.

Doja Cat lead the nominations heading into the ceremony with six nods, while Ari Lennox and Drake tied as the second most-nominated artists with each picking up four.

But the trio failed to take home any wins at the ceremony with Silk Sonic and Jazmine Sullivan, who delivered an impassioned plea about abortion rights onstage, emerging victorious in major categories, including Album of the Year and Best Female R&B/Pop Artist.

The night’s highest honor, however, went to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who received the lifetime achievement award at the show, following last year’s winner Queen Latifah.

The music mogul was coronated with a special introduction by Babyface and Kanye “Ye” West, who stunned the crowd with an appearance following a break from the public eye.
