Bringing its show back to an in-person ceremony after a year of social distancing, the 2021 BET Awards brought all of the music, the performances and the spectacle that fans could have asked for on Sunday night (June 27).
The show saw many massive moments, including the bombshell news where Cardi B revealed her second pregnancy during her performance with Migos, Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ continually iconic reactions to performances, and Tyler, the Creator’s first-ever performance at the BET Awards.
Fans had a lot to say about Sunday’s show, reacting to Cardi B’s announcement and Lil Nas X’s onstage kiss with one of his backup dancers. Check out just a few of the best ones below.
