The 2022 BET Awards aired live from the Microsoft Theater for culture’s biggest night. Hosted by Taraji P. Henson, Sunday night’s ceremony proved to be one for the books.

Lizzo kicked off the award show with a golden performance of her latest tunes. Chance the Rapper and Joey Bada$$ teamed up for the newest Hip-Hop collaboration. After receiving the Best New Artist Award, Latto brought out Mariah Carey and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s son, Young Dirty Bastard, for her surprised-filled performance. Billy Porter paid tribute to ballroom culture and scored 10s across the board for the dynamic and unforgettable, Pride Month moment.
