TV as we knew it is dying. Kids don't even watch TV anymore. It's all YouTube, TikTok, and streamers.

All award shows are losing steam, album sales are losing steam. People generally have more options to get their entertainment and the old media dogs are slowly dying.

You used to not be able to avoid coverage of these award shows. Now they seem to drop out of nowhere like people’s albums today. Damn shame.

BET as a whole needs a revamp…


Shame on the bigger artists for not coming though.

They’ll support when they’re in trouble though.


Jay-Z and Beyonce not coming is understandable considering that they basically canceled 106 due to Chris Brown’s ex Karate making fun of Blue Ivy’s hair.

If Kai Cenat had hosted and streamed the BET Hiphop Awards from his room if would had way more viewers.

When the superstars stop coming(Beyonce, JayZ, Kanye, Rihanana, 50) so did the masses... But yet these black shows kept on nominating them for awards, I would have never put them nikkas on the column if they not showing up.



I miss The Source Awards because that shyt was so special... Black folks from all forms of entertainment represented.

You miss a time period more than an award show

They really expect people who are interested in rap awards to still have cable or pay for an online streaming service just to watch BET
