Teyana Taylor was a top winner at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards, which honors Black actors, singers, and sports stars. The awards ceremony was held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and broadcast live on BET.
Taylor took home four awards, including the special, noncompetitive honor of Icon of the Year, presented by singer Janet Jackson. She also won the Fashion Vanguard Award, Best Actress, and Video Director of the Year for the short film “Escape Room.”
Comedian Druski, the youngest person ever to host the ceremony, opened with his comedic pastor persona, leading the audience in a humorous group prayer that blended jokes with tributes to spirituality.
The ceremony featured performances from Cardi B, Raye, T.I., Kehlani, Doechii, and Don Toliver. Boundary-breaking music industry executive Sylvia Rhone was also honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award, which recognizes individuals who have made a lasting impact throughout their careers in the entertainment industry and the Black community.
