The ladies stole the show at the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards last month. Megan Thee Stallion was the winner in several major categories, including Hip-Hop Artist of the Year and Hustler of the Year. Hot Girl Meg was also awarded with Best Collaboration for her Beyoncé-featured “Savage (Remix).” Rapsody took home the trophy for Lyricist of the Year, while Teyana “Spike Tee” Taylor was named Video Director of the Year. Another major moment came when Taylor, along with R&B divas Brandy, H.E.R. and Erykah Badu joined forces to curate one of the dopest cyphers we’ve witnessed in a while. If you’re into fire cyphers as much as us, check out these!
