For over two decades, Trina has reigned as one of Hip Hop’s preeminent royals.
Fittingly, then, the femcee is set to be saluted with the night’s top honor at the BET Hip Hop Awards 2022.
Full story below…
Moments ago, organizers for this year’s ceremony announced that the Queen of Miami will be the recipient of the coveted ‘I Am Hip Hop Award.’
Speaking on the honor, the rapper said in a statement:
“I am honored to receive and accept the 2022 I Am Hip Hop Award presented by BET. As a legend with over 20 years in the music industry, consistency and unity have contributed to my Rockstarr power as a femcee. I believe when one woman wins, whether it’s in front of the camera or behind the scenes, we all WIN. Let’s keep winning!”
Connie Orlando, EVP, Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy added:
“Trina is a multi-talented hip hop artist who has set cultural trends and continues to be passionate about giving back to her community. She has paved the way for several artists, and we look forward to honoring her impact and legacy on hip hop’s biggest stage, BET Hip Hop Awards 2022.”
Hosted by Fat Joe, this year’s installment of the show – which sees Drake and Kanye West lead nominations – takes place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, GA and airs on October 4 on BET at 9pm ET/PT.
Freshly announced performers include French Montana, Joey Bada$$, N.O.R.E, Pusha T, Armani White, Bleu, EST Gee, GloRilla, and Moneybagg Yo.
