Here Are the Winners of the 2022 BET Awards: Complete List


Diddy was recognized with the lifetime achievement award at the 2022 BET Awards on Sunday night (June 26), and he was joined onstage by a plethora of other recipients. Doja Cat was the year's leading candidate with six nods, followed by Drake and Ari Lennox with four each — yet all three artists departed with no victories. So, who were the night's greatest winners? In place of his foreign musical collaborator Anderson, Bruno Mars won the award for album of the year for An Evening With Silk Sonic, joined onstage by songwriter/producer D'Mile. Paak and Silk Sonic were also named the best group.
