*The 2020 BET Awards is not only in the books, but it was also like non-other before in that it was digitally produced. But then again, like its predecessors, it delivered a host of big names and surprises.
To kick things off, Public Enemy hooked up with Nas, Questlove, Black Thought, YG and Rhapsody Team for a hellafide 2020 update of the P.E. classic “Fight the Power.”
Other highlights included Lil Wayne paying tribute to Kobe Bryant while Wayne Brady honored Little Richard as only he could. Beyoncé was presented with the 2020 Humanitarian Award by Michelle Obama.
