BET Hip-Hop Awards 2025 What We Know So Far

The BET Hip-Hop Awards 2025 are set to celebrate the best in hip-hop culture later this year. While an official date hasn't been announced yet, the event traditionally airs in October on BET. Last year's ceremony took place on October 15, 2024, with Fat Joe hosting for the second consecutive year. In 2024, Kendrick Lamar dominated the awards, winning Hip Hop Artist of the Year, Best Hip Hop Video, and Song of the Year for "Not Like Us." However, the ceremony faced criticism for the absence of its iconic cyphers and a perceived lack of engagement with emerging artists. Fans are hopeful that the 2025 edition will address these concerns by reintroducing the cyphers and featuring a more diverse lineup of performers.
