The BET 2022 Awards took place on Sunday night (June 26) and in addition to being awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, Didi was joined on stage by a number of other winners.
Entering Sunday’s ceremony, Doja Cat was the leading nominee of the year with six nods, followed by Drake and Ari Lennox with four each – but all three artists left with zero wins. So who came up as the biggest winners of the evening instead? Well, Bruno Mars accepted the album award of the year for An Evening With Silk Sonic, which was joined on stage by songwriter / producer D’Mile instead of his overseas music partner Anderson .Paak, and Silk Sonic also took the award for best band.
