The BET Awards of 2019 celebrated African American and other minorities who have been shining in their respective fields of music, cinema, sports and other forms of art as contemporary pop and rap artists came together on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The event showcased talent from the black community while lauding icons like Mary J Blige, Tyler Perry as well as Nipsey Hussle who was shot dead earlier in March.
