Last night the BET awards were given in Los Angeles, which have the distinction of being awarded to the best African-American artists of the last year, excluding white artists. On this occasion, the grand prizes of the night went to Beyoncé and Bruno Mars, who respectively won prizes for the best female and male pop/R&B artists, respectively, and became ex-aequo with the Video of the Year award for 'Sorry' and '24K Magic'. Beyoncé, in addition, took the prize of the spectators and, also, the album of the year for 'Lemonade', doing justice after the controversial failure of the Grammy awards in favor of '25' of Adele. Beyoncé did not go to the ceremony to collect the prizes, since she has just given birth to her twins.
Along with them, the most significant awards as male and female hip hop artist went to Kendrick Lamar, who this year has published the excellent 'DAMN.' and, surprisingly, Remy Ma, succeeding Nicki Minaj who had obtained this award uninterruptedly during the last 5 years. It turns out that, in addition, Remy Ma is the nemesis rapper of Minaj and her beefs are recurrent, so the New York rapper scores a bit in this war they bring. In fact, when picking up the prize he sang some verses of 'Shether', the theme against Nicki that she later answered in her recent singles 'Changed It' and 'No Frauds'. Maybe it's time to reflect on your overexposure, Nicki.
Another of the biggest winners of the night was Chance The Rapper, who in addition to receiving a prize for 'No Problems' as a better collaboration (shared with 'Bad and Boujée' from Migos) and a revelation artist, was awarded the Humanitarian Award from former First Lady Michelle Obama. The Chicago rapper donated $1 million to help the public schools of his city, which has become one of the most violent in the United States and requires large investments in education that the administrations obviate. In his speech, Bennett recalled that he is only 24 years old, and that it is a little early, but that "his God never makes a mistake". He also assured that he intends to get involved in humanitarian work not only in his community but throughout the world.
Of course, the night, which featured actress Leslie Jones as host, was enlivened by various performances, such as the award-winning Bruno Mars doing 'Perm' with his group, Future and Kendrick Lamar playing the new version of the popular 'Mask Off' 'of the first, SZA performing two songs from his recent debut 'CTRL', Mary J. Blige performing his single with A $ AP Rocky, DJ Khaled doing 'I'm The One' with Lil Wayne, Migos, and Chance The Rapper... and without Justin Bieber or the saxophonist Kamasi Washington paying tribute to George Michael, playing 'Careless Whisper'.
Nobody expected it, that's why Beyoncé managed to surprise everyone once again. Without having announced it, the 34-year-old artist appeared on the stage of the 2016 BET Awards to begin the gala with her theme Freedom in what was a spectacular performance.
Leaving everyone speechless, the singer released all her energy to the sound of music demonstrating why she is the "Queen". Dressed in a black bodysuit, braided hair and barefoot, the powerful star displayed all her dexterity in the dance on a stage full of water that did nothing but praise her surprise presentation with Kendrick Lamar.
Although some Beyoncé dancers had been seen on the red carpet minutes before the gala began, no one could have imagined that the singer born in Texas had planned such a performance. Jay Z's wife was nominated in five categories of the BET Awards and, even though she won the majority, the artist could not go on stage to collect her prizes since after her performance she had to go to the airport to take a flight to London. Months after having released her latest album called Lemonade, Beyoncé is immersed in the Formation World Tour.
Likewise, the singer's awards were accepted by her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, who dedicated a few words to those artists who lost their lives so far in 2016. In what was an edition where tribute was paid to Prince and Muhammed Ali, the woman asked to appreciate the stars during her life and not only to remember them when they are no longer in this world: "Let them smell the flowers while they are still alive".
Before starting her tour in Europe, Beyoncé enjoyed with her husband and daughter, Blue Ivy, a few days of relaxation on the beaches of Hawaii. Laughs and gestures of affection were protagonists in what were a beautiful family vacations of which funny photographs were portrayed that the artist shared with all her fans through social networks and her website.
