BET Hip-Hop Awards 2018 spelades in i början av oktober och sändes i sin helhet på tisdagskvällen i USA. Som vi tidigare rapporterat vann XXXTentacion priset “Best New Hip Hop Act”, då ceremonin spelades in nära hans hem i Miami Beach i Florida. X tog priset i konkurrens med Rich The Kid, Lil Baby, Juice WRLD och Blocboy JB. Priset togs emot av hans mamma, Cleopatra Bernard, å sin sons vägnar. Under en av galans “cyphers” ska Vic Mensa dock ha riktat en rad mot XXXTentacion, vilket skapat kontroverser.
Under galan höll även Anderson .Paak ett känslosamt tal om Mac Miller betydelse och öppnade talet med orden “Legends never die.”

Lil Wayne tog emot hederspriset “I Am Hip Hop Award” och höll ett öppenhjärtigt där han berättade om hur en polis räddade livet på honom.
“There’s a man in New Orleans. His name is Uncle Bob. Came into an apartment one day, he bust in the door, guns drawn. He saw nobody. He saw legs on the floor. It was my legs. He saw blood everywhere. A bunch of police hopped over me, he refused to do so. I never knew — I talked to him the other day — I never knew EMS was on the scene. He said EMS tried twice and they told him there’s nothing. He refused to let that die. Forget an ambulance, he brought me to the hospital himself. He refused to wait, kicked in the doors and said, ‘Do whatever you gotta do to make sure this child make it.’ Not only that, that day Uncle Bob was a homicide detective. He was off on detail. He just heard the call and came. Not only did he refuse to sit … he refused to leave. He stayed and made sure I made it.”
.@LilTunechi emotional anecdote about his near-death experience puts his love and legacy into perspective. #HipHopAwardshttps://t.co/ZA0eh7npfb
