Nigeria’s hopes for glory at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards were dashed as Burna Boy and Odumodublvck failed to clinch any awards.
Burna Boy lost the coveted Best Live Performer award to legendary rapper Missy Elliott. This category recognizes artists who deliver exceptional live performances, and Burna Boy’s energetic shows had made him a strong contender.
Odumodublvck was also unsuccessful in the Best International Flow category, which was won by UK rapper Ghetts. This category celebrates artists who showcase exceptional lyrical skill and flow.
_Biggest Loser: Megan Thee Stallion_
Megan Thee Stallion, who entered the awards with 12 nominations, left empty-handed. This surprising outcome marked a disappointing night for the talented rapper.
_Kendrick Lamar’s Dominance_
Kendrick Lamar emerged as the night’s biggest winner, scooping eight awards out of 11 nominations. His impressive haul solidified his position as one of hip-hop’s leading artists.
