The 2020 BET AWARDS were held virtually Sunday night on CBS, BET and BET HER and featured standout performances from Anderson Paak, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Wayne, John Legend, Roddy Ricch, and Alicia Keys, among others.
A celebration of the show’s 20th anniversary, and the network’s 40th, Black music’s past, present, and future took center stage as host Amanda Seales expertly navigated comedy elements and important messages related to social injustice, inequality, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Lizzo, Roddy Ricch and Megan Thee Stallion were among the winners who appeared via video to accept their awards.
