We’re going to be in a new city and location, but the excitement and entertainment at the awards will be even bigger than ever,” he stated.
One of the highlights of the night was the presentation of the prestigious I Am Hip Hop Award to the visionary artist Travis Scott. Known for his groundbreaking contributions to music and culture, Scott has been recognized for his relentless creativity and passion. Connie Orlando, EVP of specials, music programming, and music strategy, praised him, stating, “Travis Scott is a visionary artist who continues to push the boundaries of music, culture, and live performance. We look forward to celebrating him at the BET Hip Hop Awards 2024.” Scott received six nominations this year, underscoring his impact on the hip-hop landscape.
