Over the past few years, The MTV Awards, Oscars, and other award shows have become humdrum while BET’s award shows have been lit. This year’s show had the theme ‘Year of the Black Woman’ and gave Queen Latifah the Lifetime Achievement Award for her tremendous success in music and entertainment.

While many awards were handed out [‘WAP,’ Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R., Megan Thee Stallion, Silk Sonic, Lil Baby, Giveon, SZA, Burna Boy, and more all won], the night was all about spectacular performances.

LiFTED has picked the top seven:

1. Cardi B & Migos

The Migos came out and did their hit ‘Straighten’ and then brought out Cardi B for ‘Type Sh*t’ and a big surprise

2. DMX Tribute
