BET Awards 2019: A list of winners and key moments

The 2019 BET Awards was a night to remember.

Hosted by Regina Hall, the ceremony took place on Sunday, June 23, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

One win we celebrate most is that of our very own Burna Boy who bagged the “Best International Act” award.

The BET Awards celebrate African Americans and other American minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment. 

Among the key moments was when Hussle, a respected and beloved community activist in South Los Angeles who was shot dead on March 31, posthumously earned the Humanitarian Award.
