Nicki Minaj and Beyonce aren’t the only Hip Hop & R&B pals rubbing shoulders this weekend.
For, Saturday night saw Kanye West & Usher arrive at Washington, D.C’s Warner Theatre for the eighth annual BET Honors, where they were honoured for their contribution to music and the arts.
Accompanied by his wife Kim Kardashian, West joined Usher to be celebrated alongside a number of other African-American trailblazers in theatre, business and technology.

Great choices for the honors! Kanye & Usher have put in the work and seen so much success! I can’t wait to watch!
Hmm I guess it was just an All Black Affair looks quite odd but Congrats!!
Kim and Kanye looked so great at this event..
Kim K is a bad b**** !!
I saw the photo of Usher being moved to tears. Aww, it’s good to see him finally being recognized for the work he’s put in over the past two decades. He’s always been somewhat overlooked in that aspect in comparison to the other big pop stars from his peer group (Bey, Jt and Brit) so I’m sure it meant a lot to him. As for Kanye, he’s very much so deserving of this honor as his catalog of albums and producer credits are excellent. Congrats to them and the other honorees.
