Asake, Ayra Starr, and Burna Boy were notably absent from the winners' circle at the BET Awards 2024, where Tyla claimed the coveted ‘Best New Artist’ award. The event, hosted by actress, author, and producer Taraji P. Henson, kicked off with a dynamic performance by Megan Thee Stallion, delivering electrifying renditions of “BOA” and “Where Them Girls At.”
Adding to the evening's highlights, R&B icon Usher received the prestigious “Lifetime Achievement Award,” presented by industry legends Baby Face and L.A. Reid. The tribute to Usher featured a star-studded musical showcase, with artists like Chlöe Bailey, Childish Gambino, KeKe Palmer, CoCo Jones, Tinashe, Latto, and more performing a medley of his greatest hits. Usher also clinched the award for “Best Male R&B/Pop Artist” during the ceremony.
