While the night may have belonged to Janet Jackson, Sunday night’s BET Awards proved memorable for so many reasons.
From Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ epic Bad Boy reunion (not to mention his pretty nasty on-stage tumble) to Rihanna duct taping Floyd Mayweather‘s mouth shut and show-stopping performances from Big Sean, The Weekend and Alicia Keys, the hip-hop industry didn’t fail to turn up from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Famous presenters Laverne Cox, Zendaya, Michael B. Jordan, Kelly Rowland and more were also on-hand to honor some of the biggest names in music.
If you missed the three-hour plus spectacle, you’re in luck! Check out the complete list of winners below. Did your favorites go home with any accolades?
